The story aspect of the game is criticized for being repetitive and tedious, with missions that feel drawn out and lacking engagement, particularly a frustrating cart-pulling quest. In contrast, another game featuring a young girl and a unicorn offers a more whimsical narrative aimed at children, though it suffers from simplicity and a lack of depth in quests and collectibles. Overall, while one game struggles with its storytelling and mission design, the other provides a charming but shallow experience.
“It is really nice to make quests for the village people and of course for the unicorn, helping to save the unicorn's dream world.”
“Following the little girl Leila and the unicorn Unica on an epic quest to save the dream world and give back what the guardian lost.”
“The quests for the village people (no, not the band!) and the unicorn take turns.”
“There's one mission at the end where you have to wheel a giant cart to the other side of the map and then back, and you cannot run with this cart.”
“Without a guide, I honestly don't think I would stay sane long enough to finish these missions, especially the final one that has you blindly searching half the map.”
“Generally aimed towards kids, which makes me wonder why they would include such an awful carriage quest that is literally the most boring way to spend your time and takes like an eternity.”

The graphics of the game receive overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users describing them as ugly, buggy, and reminiscent of outdated designs from the 90s. While a few players appreciate the art style, the majority find the visuals lacking and detrimental to the overall experience, contributing to a sense of emptiness and frustration in gameplay.
“A wonderfully crafted game that takes place in a beautifully drawn world with very nice graphics.”
“People may find the graphics like Marmite.”
“The graphics are ugly and hideous, there's no in-game music, the world map is about 10 times bigger than it has any right being and is emptier than my message box on Tinder, the horse controls like a three-legged goat trying to wear roller skates on a gravel path, and the missions are repetitive, drawn out, and mind-numbingly boring.”
“The content is minimal and poor, with buggy graphics from the 90's.”
“Also not worth the money for a clunky game with glitchy graphics.”

The monetization strategy of the game is criticized as exploitative, targeting unsuspecting parents and young players with a focus on profit rather than genuine gameplay experience.
