The seemingly undefeatable hero gets divided into 10 weak copies of himself and his disembodied soul must help them survive and defeat an otherworldly horror who's name literally means "death god", and upon finishing his adventure our beloved ball of happiness ponders about the beauty of space.
"Darkness had its place just as much as light [...]. For the stars sparkled twice as bright in the dark depths of space!"

Anyway this game might be gimmicky but it's another title with an identity all to its own.
