The game's story conveys a moral about perseverance and the unpredictability of life, serving as a poignant backdrop to the gameplay. While it begins with promise and features a nice transition between levels, many players find it ultimately generic and simplistic, failing to elevate the repetitive gameplay. Overall, the narrative is seen as a highlight, but it does not significantly alter the game's mechanics.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “It's a sad story.”
- “The story at the moment is the highlight of the game and is a very nice transition to each level, but by itself doesn’t change the repetitive gameplay.”
- “(The small amount of story that is in the game opening) the overlords created everything, and one of the overlords sealed the others away to rule over the universe solo.”
