My last main praise of this game would be the excellency of its soundtrack, as I love how it manages to spin very similar melodies into multiple distinct tracks that are lovely to listen to, which I do often.

I'd recommend a controller as I've struggled a lot on keyboard, controller feels so much more natural.
