the ost is honestly beautiful for every single area and teleporter theme, and I'm really sad that has to have a "but..." to come with it

It is absolutely packed with content: not only does it double the roster of characters, but Starstorm also doubles the stage count, adds new music, a new difficulty, new mechanics and game customization, and loads of new items.

19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
overally good design on characters, enemies, items, and maps. except for the last example, everything has its own little story/description/entry which adds a little in terms of world building
