The game's story has received mixed reviews, with many players praising its creativity, engaging plot twists, and emotional depth, particularly in relation to character relationships and challenges faced. However, some users feel the storyline is simplistic or could benefit from more complexity and additional content, such as new levels and missions.

“Awesome levels, awesome graphics, and an absolutely wonderful story, a very original game.”
“I love the storyline and the controls; I think this game beats any other.”
“The story is amazing; I played it through 7 times and I'm addicted.”
“The only thing I can say I didn't enjoy about the game is that the story isn't anything I haven't seen before. It has everything to be a good game, but it's within the story that holds it back. I do understand it's only one person working on the game, but make the story a bit more interesting.”
“Really impressive graphics, impressive music, and of course, epic bosses. I really like this game, but the downside is that the story is just too simple for a graphics game like this.”
“In the beta months or years, I was expecting exciting updates to make the game, as people would say, 'cooler' or 'better'. However, the part of the game that disappointed me was the story and lack of updates.”

“Wow this is the best platformer game ever, but there is laggy gameplay.”

Overall, the monetization strategy of the game is generally well-received, with many users noting that ads are minimal and not intrusive, primarily appearing as optional rewards for bonuses or skins. While some players express frustration over occasional ad interruptions, the consensus is that the game strikes a good balance, avoiding the excessive ad saturation common in many mobile games. A few users suggest improvements, such as reducing the frequency of ads or offering a paid option to remove them entirely, but many appreciate the game's overall approach to monetization.
“This game has almost no ads, almost no purchases to pay to progress, and no need to buy coins for different skins. All you do is collect them while saving bears. The final boss, while hard and annoying, is extremely fun to conquer.”
“This game is so fun! There's no ads, you have an arcade, and you can even unlock more worlds. It's super fun, and I can unlock cool stuff!”
“This game is super fantastic! Plus, it has low MB, is offline, and has no ads. ♥️♥️”
“The reason I didn't give it five stars was because of the ads that would sometimes play after you save a bear or complete a level.”
“I know they need it for money, but can you please make less ads? Because when I am about to play, it pops up with ads, especially when buying things.”
“It's hard for controls and there are lots of ads.”

“I love this game but the new update about the music and sounds, no thank you, I really prefer the original. Please can you change it back!”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be overly tedious and time-consuming, with some expressing frustration over the difficulty in acquiring epic items and the need to collect a significant number of coins for boss fights. While many enjoy the game overall, they feel that the grinding could be improved, particularly by allowing more options for purchasing items directly.
“I have all the commons and all the rares and probably 8 epic items left to get. After spending around 5000 coins, I now have 7 epic items left. This game really shouldn't be that grindy. I understand that's what the minigame realm is for, but it was better when we had the option to buy items individually. Other than that, though, it's the best mobile game in ages.”
“My one problem is how tedious it is to collect 60 coins for a boss fight.”
“I love this game, but today I was coin farming and my game crashed!”
