bought this on Switch this afternoon. i had plans to meet up w a friend and make some music, so we spent the day doing that, writing & recording a song on the spot. they headed out and i only played the first star. i have played through the game before on emulator but it plays better than that on Switch. i love it!!! this game was meant to be on the Switch.
it plays wonderfully. the music is, as always, so nice to hear. the game is just bursting with joy. the King of All Cosmos has a wonderfully batty way to him. tbh it has that absent minded deity feel that you see in parts of the Old Testament or mystical Greek myths. he is a little mischievous. like the baby Krishna, getting into jars of butter, just this innocent being of pure sensation, causing a cosmic mess on accident, unable to fully control his whims and impulses, a God that has the same problems we all deal with. it's quite profound.
i have always loved this game. the central goal, rather than destroying things, eating them like Pac-Man or shooting them like every other videogame, you combine things. rather that set things apart, you bring things together. it is fundamentally different than every other videogame. the only goal is total union. all things must become one, a sort of materialist singularity, spinning objects into a meta ball of Katamariness. it is a work of genius.
is there any historical precedent to the KOAC's costume design? specifically the head things, the cylinders he wears on each side of his head, is that some old Japanese drama thing?
