I'm the kind of person who, with the right kind of crescendo in instrumental music, will openly weep at its beauty for no comprehensible reason. And I absolutely love space-opera music. Combine that with my own struggles to find my own place in my art, trying to reshape the box everyone expects me to fit into... plus that time of the month fast approaching, and I'm a crying mess ready to join the cult of Simon Says Run & Gun.

I'd have liked it a little more if it weren't so linear (so many stellar environments and no Z-axis ability whatsoever), had a little more room to jam with the open notes (as opposed to holding the one button 90% of the time, with 9% Simon Says, and only 1% open jam), and extended JUST beyond where it ended to talk with people about the last performance. And the drug-trip slingshot from the Cosmic Lung to other areas got a little tedious. Woulda been fun to change it up, even a little, each stage.

But I loved the music, the star-studded cast, the eventual customization of my character, and messages. I know it's not something that's gonna ring with everyone, but this just hit me at the right time.
