Later on as you get more involved with the story the seriousness kicks in, but early parts of the game had me rofling. (lol balrog)


I know right >_> balrog made me wtf throughout the whole game

I always felt that Leta looked like that bunny.

Well she's not actually a bunny, she's actually a mimiga. Her name is Sue Sakamoto.

That is spooky man, I've been thinking about this game all weekend, after not having touched it for 6 months. Freaky coincidence. Some thoughts:

-Look up the Cave Story Remix Project. It's one of the best out there.

-There are few things as satisfying as beating the hardest version of the Last Cave. Be sure to remember that when picking your gun upgrades. Oh, and + Show Spoiler +
DON'T FORGET TO SAVE CURLY


-Curly is amazing.

EDIT: Actually, I think there's a patch or something that lets you replay the game as Curly.

This is a fucking excellent game. If you have a PSP, I recommend playing it there. Widescreen actually increases your field of view, which makes it so much better.

And jesus christ the last cave is CRAZY.

That took me two full weeks to take down, and yet the Core only took one try. -_-

EDIT: switch up your weapons

Sounds like you'd like braid OP.

Speaking of braid, the single finest game i have ever played. this has inspired me to review it. rawr.


I loved Cave Story. The boss fights were very challenging but not impossible.

Braid is amazing. The gameplay mechanics are well designed so that every puzzle piece has a solution that isn't direct repetition of what you've seen before. The ending is absolutely brilliant and satisfying but to say anything more would venture into spoiler territory.

Speaking of free Indie games, just got through playing the hilarious comedy RPG Barkley Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden.

Hmmm... all games mentioned in this post are about 4-6 hours in length.

I always get to the core, read somewhere that you should ignore the damage it makes at you, so when I get to the core I'm so low on HP :/ and I'm using the bubblegun to clear all the minions and then I use the machinegun until it drops down in level then I just wing it

This game isn't hard! It's very good, but not too difficult. Only the secret dungeon that keeps track of your end time takes more than a few decent attempts to complete.

There's a bunch of indie shooters out there, but I don't know of any more of the platforming/adventure/RPG type like Cave Story. For the sheer gameplay or challenge, there's some other neat stuff definitely.

I loved Cave Story, its right up there with the Metroid series when it comes to my favorite 2d shooter games.

The single proudest moment of my life was when I navigated the ridiculous secret deathtrap maze and beat the even more ridiculously hard secret boss.

I randomly thought of this the other day and remembered it was frontpaged here on TL. Really great little game, not too difficult as somebody said, aside from the Hell level. Great catchy music :D Now I'm off to try Braid...

edit: Btw, the Cave Story remix project site download links are all down

Cavestory was pretty nice. Guess I should finish it some time.
But I'm not sure if I like the jetpack. While it was nice by itself, it seemed like the levels were not designed with it in mind.
