I love how it's mostly quiet. I keep the audio on while I work, and each time I hear those guys voices, I think, Wow, what badasses. I would've liked more attention to the animation, so that I could fully experience their tininess and the expanse of the quarter million gap and the blackness beyond blackness that surrounds the two little marbles, the earth and moon. I like comprehending a living being making its way off of one of the balls and landing on the other. It's too effing much. I love the audio. I love how it’s mostly quiet.
