    Is cave story+ a dark game?

    It's definitely a dark game. Without giving too much away, characters do die, which is sad, but it's often the manner in which they die that's really heartbreaking. Even more than that, though, things just generally don't go well for the protagonists. Unless you get the best ending, there's this...

    Oh goodness, Pinky's father says "Huzzah" in this translation. Is Nicalis trolling us?

    Machine Gun Challenge!

    1'55"9. From what I can tell, there really aren't many potential shortcuts in this stage (besides boosting through the spikes at the very beginning).

    Machine Gun Challenge!

    It looks like Machine Gun Challenge is unlocked by default (you don't need to get the Machine Gun in the main game), so I'm guessing it's relatively easy because it's supposed to be something new players could get into. And yes, the leaderboard issue seems to be widespread.

    Cave Story+ Needs You! (Again...) ( ^ _ ^ )

    Do the leaderboards still not work for anyone else? I wonder what the issue is. And some of my new replays are still encountering the same problems we had in beta testing (running and jumping into a wall the first room in Machine Gun/Nemesis Challenge, getting killed by Naked Curlys in Wind...

    Cave Story+ Needs You! (Again...) ( ^ _ ^ )

    So the update just went live this morning. It has the Halloween art, which is really funny from what I've seen so far, the Machine Gun Challenge level, and leaderboard/replay support. I don't know if anyone else has checked it out so far, but for me, the game closes whenever I try to open the...

    Cave Story eShop Curly Story Glitch

    The patch fixed all of the sound issues, which was a pleasant surprise. The timer-pause issue is still there, along with the post-damage invincibility quirk and some graphical snafoos (mini-cores disappearing when Misery shows up before the normal final boss / Jack standing in the doorway in...

    Cave Story eShop Curly Story Glitch

    On paper, this should be the definitive version (it doesn't have the achievements, updated graphics, or updated music, but it does have the Jukebox). But it's honestly really sloppy in its execution. I hope a timely patch is released to fix these issues (not just Curly Story).

    Cave Story+ Needs You! (Again...) ( ^ _ ^ )

    The Wind Fortress timer bug? In the current beta, it is fixed. Hopefully Nicalis will be able to release the update soon.

    Cave Story+ Crash/Requires a Hard Reset

    Does it crash at a particular point in the game, upon startup, or is it just random?

    Critique of Cave Story

    Hard Mode isn't what the game was designed around. The placement of the save points and health refills provides an appropriate, fair challenge given the "normal" amount of health a player would have in the standard difficulty. If you're suggesting that more save points should be added in a mode...

    Critique of Cave Story

    You can't compare Cave Story to Super Meat Boy in that way. Every hazard in SMB is a one-hit kill. That's a game about pinpoint precision and fast paced platforming, contained within relatively short levels. Given the frequency a good player in Super Meat Boy is likely to die, it wouldn't make...

    Critique of Cave Story

    Yes, you're very likely to miss out on the best weapons and the best ending on your first playthrough unless you know what's coming. I don't see that as a flaw, however, especially since the game almost explicitly tells you at later points in the game that you should have held out. Like with the...

    New CS website made by pixel

    For anyone interested, I compiled the character art from the website here: http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg122/emayer555/Odds%20and%20Ends/CSDSiCharacterArt.png I really enjoyed the entire presentation of this site. Lots of great drawings and such.

    Cave Story+ Wind Fortress Glitch

    I don't think there's anything else you can do. As far as I know, Nicalis is aware of this glitch. Hopefully they plan on patching it eventually.

    Cave Story 3DS Discussion

    I wouldn't go that far. But it does kind of defeat the purpose of having a time attack mode without saving your time. Though now that I think about it, I think that was the case with the WiiWare version, too...

    Cave Story 3DS Discussion

    So in Time Attack, does the game not save your best time? I finished Time Attack, and my time displayed in the upper left corner of the game's opening screen, but then nothing is there when I go back to that screen. And I guess if the game doesn't save your time, it's safe to assume there's...

    Cave Story+

    I'm trying to think of how you would make an easy mode for Wind Fortress and Nemesis Challenge. I guess they could give you more health, but more health won't save you from bottomless pits and killer red spikes, which are the things that actually make those levels challenging.

    Cave Story+

    Unrelated to recent discussion, but I was wondering about the desktop icon for the game. For me, it's just one of those generic Windows program icons, and I was curious if it was different for anyone else. It's been that way since the beginning of beta testing, but I just assumed that a specific...

    Cave Story+ Beta Testing

    The Item Get Fanfare and the Boss Clear Fanfare now loop. That hasn't happened in any of the other versions of the game I've played, including the various Cave Story+ betas.

    Cave Story+

    I've been trying to beat Nemesis Challenge for the past two days and I'm practically tearing my hair out. It's like, I get stuck on one part, try it enough times to memorize it and work out a strategy, only for something else to give me fits just a few seconds later. Right now I've managed to...

    Cave Story+ Beta Testing

    I'm encountering the same thing, except that for me, it only happens when I play Wind Fortress. So if I die in Wind Fortress, and play it again, the time from my previous attempt carries over. Or if I play and die in one of the other Challenges, and then go into Wind Fortress, the previous...
