Sadly enough, I think Grobletombus Marble Eyes was probably the nicest, friendliest creature in the entire story, all things considered, and if he hadn't failed his platforming section, Runmo probably would have been stuck in time/space jail for eternity, but with someone who'd patiently at least explain philosophy to him. In the Meatball Man room, anyone else notice that Runmo easily ran back to safety faster than he did running forward? I guess it fits with the concept of being more afraid of dying than living.

It was probably because Runmo knew it was inevitable and he wasn't able to make it, no matter how fast he ran the meatball man was still going to kill him and he panicked and turned back.

Little Runmo absoLUTELY made me feel like I was watching somebody's nightmare play out; everything that happened within this whole morbid world made sense just within its own context, and that made it intriguing as hell.

Well that's how life is. You see an obstacle most would assume to be easy but you have difficulty overcoming. So you look for any way around it; you seek aid from unhelpful acquaintances, a person in a position of power, and when all else fails you look for an easier path that just makes things worse. Ultimately when he did decide to overcome, Runmo found that his reward was disappointment, as he'd made everything else so much worse simply in pursuit of an easier life.

This is amazing. The surreal visuals really reinforce the strange and beautiful feel of this whole artwork. The music fits so well, with the cheery tune for the beginning, and Meatball Man's theme fitting with the absurdity of that scene. I love the fact that Runmo never speaks or has a mouth, but conveys so much emotion nonetheless. I like that you can see some Little Dangers in the background at some scenes. The character design is great, too. My favorite is Pikit.

All you can do, is hide in a corner and pray for your life to not be ended by this eldritch horror that, no doubt, has already destroyed countless worlds and will destroy many more.

[@quintusthegnome7429]

When listening to the Runmo soundtrack you can recognize a distinct style. All the songs feel like they belong together. One repeated idea I heard was extended melodic phrasing. Just when you think the melody will take a break, it continues onward. The continuation of phrases makes the song sound like its trying to tell you something, like there are lyrics but no one bothered to write them down, which gives every song a powerful onward motion. The lack of dialogue in 'little Runmo' matches nicely with this style. Its a story no one thought or wanted to tell, until now and the songs are bursting with this feeling. Contrast this with another amazing soundtrack from a game like Hollow Knight. It has melodies and styles that are repeated throughout it, but the atmosphere of the songs is far more haunting and wistful, as if longing for the old days. The themes, once again, match the story as you explore Hallownest in the wake of tragedy. The songs are more atmospheric. Songs from hollow knight do not lend themselves well to lyrics. there is no way to describe how it feels to enter the white palace for the first time or discover the once great city of tears. even the boss themes are designed to invoke feelings that words could never come close to. Runmo on the other hand is whimsical and vibrant. it is a story which is begging to be told. Adding lyrics to the OST is as natural for the music of Runmo as exploring ruins is for hollow knight. There are videos which add lyrics to Runmo songs and to Hollow Knight songs. I know which I prefer. Although it is very satisfying to hear words put to the songs, lyrics take away some of the magic of the Runmo music. Free of lyrics, it works harder to communicate the feelings, thus making each song an adventure. Gooseworx. What a truly awesome job you've done on this. I love everything about Runmo and i think its brilliant. It is an inspiration to me. Thank you!
