I've been working with Sue's Workshop quite a bit recently, hoping to make a hack of Cave Story which is actually fun to play. Unfortunately, I am lazy and can't be bothered to make new tilesets for certain maps. Since there's not much I can do story-wise without new tilesets, I came up with the idea of an ultra-hard Cave Story hack, Death Story. Death Story features:
+ The exact storyline of Cave Story
+ No original music
+ Only minor graphics tweaking
+ Bastard evil level designs that are not fun in the least
+ Mushrooms

You may torture yourself if you wish by downloading this madness here. Please remember that this is only a short demo, and not much is completed. I'd just like the general public's opinion on the idea, so I know whether I should finish this or not. Have (no)fun~ :D

EDIT!

Since a couple people have gotten stuck in the Start Point (and a few more inevitably will) I've included a solution for getting past it.

Lower ranks feel honored to receive consolation from the upper ranks. Maybe you should go and pay them a visit.

Heh, you just made my day. I myself am surprised that I didn't get a concussion from all that laughter. Joyous laughter that this was an epic success! I must finish it! :D

Really, this means a lot to me. Also, on a completely unrelated note, there is in fact a save point in the first cave. However, it's quite cleverly hidden. :(

I couldn't help but laugh when I found that hidden save point. hahaha

I'm not sure if it was a glitch or something but I got the life-up by just jumping around alot, also the place where you're supposed to get stuck lead me to water and then right up near the save point.

Of course you can jump up through like that, the area sucks, remember? :D Unless, of course, it brings you to a place from which you can access the save point, then I would have made a screwy mistake. Could you kindly PM me with a pic of this other jumping-around-randomly-type-bug associated with the life capsule? I may have to get that one looked at :( Thanks for pointing out these bugs, especially considering that beta testing this is a bit hellish :o
