The story is brief and feels incomplete, with only a few short missions and a single time period, leaving it lacking depth and development. While some find the quirky plot amusing and see potential for expansion, overall it resembles a lightweight, mobile-style narrative that could benefit greatly from a fuller, more engaging story mode.
- “The graphics are done very well and I enjoy the storyline.”
- “The story is that scientists put drugs in a panda to make it smarter, but they made it too smart and it became a threat to humans, so they built a time machine and sent the janitor to clean up the mess. It's funny and unique.”
- “The game is clearly unfinished; there's only one time period, and the main story goes nowhere.”
- “This feels like a mobile game, from graphics, to gameplay, to story.”
- “Great potential, right now it only has like a 10 minute story but it's worth it.”
