sloppy eaters, they leave rubble all over the couch
it's weird considering that art is aesthetically appealing, even
love that game btw, i think i like the first game more but yeah
It's neat looking. "Mineral based life form" in general is a cool concept to see how different creators approach.
To interpret MOO2 more charitably, "repulsive" might be standing in for "very unlike all other life forms"; "widely othered" basically.
