The game's story is minimal and largely considered non-existent, with players indicating that they are primarily focused on the platforming gameplay rather than a deep narrative. While the lack of a compelling story may be a drawback for some, others appreciate the straightforward nature of the game.
“The music is repetitive, the graphics aren't anything special, the story pretty much doesn't exist... I will say that the platforming is pretty smooth, so if you think that only gameplay is worth it, then go ahead!”
“Very light on story and the music does get repetitive.”
“Barebones story, but I'm here for a short platforming game, not some soul-wrenching narrative, so I don't really mind.”
