The story draws heavy inspiration from familiar themes, notably resembling the narrative of "Angry Birds" with its premise of angry characters kidnapping friendly creatures. However, the VR adaptation successfully enhances the experience, making it enjoyable and engaging as players navigate through physics-based puzzles.
“It's great fun skelping your hairy little friends via slingshot, tennis racquet, and drone (and probably many more, but we will replay all the missions).”
“While the inspiration is clear (almost too much so; even the story of angry red guys kidnapping friendly furballs is pretty close to the original Angry Birds), the foray into a VR version of a physics-based puzzle game is rather successful, perhaps even more so than the game(s) that influenced it.”
