![]() ![]() Once I started doing that, I learned that the soundtrack in this game is incredible too! Big fan of the dreamy Warp-Wet-Woods, the various versions of Kera-Ma-Go that show up throughout the game and Mask, the completely absurd free jazz piece with the alto saxophone. ![]() In terms of mechanics, the only thing I truly couldn’t stand doing (but ended up doing anyway) was winning the special prize in the fishing contest.įor the first few hours I was shocked by how eerily silent the game was willing to be, until I realized the reason there’s often no music is because you can just play your own soundtrack after you buy MDs. The sister of the Eco crew (all of them in general, if I’m being real), the love you get from the firework maker and his wife after you successfully build a firework that’ll power the rocket in particular are the two that stand out.

Even more than Dandy Dungeon, I feel like the writing of moon carries his incredibly distinct tone, turns of phrase and -isms that really mesh well with the overall vibe of the game.
