Normal play has eerie sound effects that make way for wonderful orchestral scores during cut scenes. The overall design of the sound for this game is well thought out.

Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet features a four player online and local co-op mode.

There is an intro to the game that sets up the story and from there not much in the way of continuing this though cutscenes. It is up to the player to fill in the blanks with their imagination which lets one get to the gameplay with little interruptions.
