The story mode is notably brief, with skilled players able to complete it in under 10 minutes, though many may find themselves struggling on certain sections for hours. Additionally, the lack of music during the story mode detracts from the overall experience.
“The story mode is short enough that you could realistically beat it in less than 10 minutes if you completely master the movement, but it's difficult enough that you may spend hours barely progressing on a section.”
“First, the music didn't play much during the story mode.”
