I recall either Pilot or Abe Babe later conceeding that the asteroids hitting Abe’s Moon were actually a flashback, and didn’t take place just beyond our peripheral vision during the game itself.

I also don't think munch should have had his own moon. It kind of takes away from the story (I think). I liked how it was before where the hand could have just been a coincidence, but you really had a feeling that it was much more. Munch's moon just doesn't seem to fit to me. I do think that munch should have had something to represent him, but something different. Like having a lake shaped like his foot or something instead of another moon. You could understand why abe had never seen the moon before because he had been enslaved in rupture farms his whole life. But why wouldn't munch have seen his when he sticks his head out of the water? On the other hand, if it was a lake or something, they wouldn't have seen it until they fly over it in the airship at the end.

I latched onto this idea when I first read it almost a lustrum ago. Moons are quite a mystical medium for simulcra, which suits the Mudokons fine. Perhaps Gabbits should have something a little more down‐to‐Oddworld. These things could then form a natural equivalent to native sculpture and the industrial architectural motifs.
