The Lost Bubbler -- 1.1

Once, a while ago, I made a mod called The Lost Bubbler.
Today in the Skype group I asked the people if they wanted to play it, and they said sure.
Skip some story and now I am going to put it here.

You are Hard-mode Quote, and you like Bubbles. You're moving away, and you need to get your Bubbler, but...

1.0 -- Initial release.
1.1 -- Fixed some text bugs, edited a few sprites and added exactly one save point.

 

This was actually quite enjoyable
Edit: Except for that goddamn jump

 

I liked it. :3 But may you tell us...

Spoiler

Who put the Bubbler back?

 

This was a cute little short mod, I liked it. The gameplay didn't stand out much, but I liked the asthetics of the Cresent Moon Plains, and the story was quite funny. I liked the dialogue exchanges between Quote and Curly, and the comical child-like attachment Quote had to his Bubbler gave me a few laughs. The level design wasn't fantastic, but it was okay. It might have been nice to have had another save point or two to save you a bit of running and jumping if you fall. Right here might have been a good place to add a save point:

As a potentially subjective nit-pick, the transition from the Cresent Moon Plains Outskirts to the Cresent Moon Plains breaks immersion for me due to using a <KEY command to make the character stop moving before making the transition rather than a <PRI. The vice versa transition uses a <PRI, but not this one. Same issue between the Deserted hills and Train Station, except both use <KEY.

The dialogue seemed to be pretty well proof-read, and the mod thoroughly tested as a whole, which is something I don't see in many first releases, so good job, even though this isn't a very long mod. The only glitch I could find was that the event for getting the Bubbler out of the chest triggers even after the first time I get it out, and it also changes back to a closed chest when I exit and re-enter the room.

On the whole, nice work, it amused me and kept me interested the whole 25 minutes of the way.

EDIT: Oh, also, it would be nice if a copy of DoConfig was included in the installation so that I can change the properties to my liking (I. E. so that I can change the jump and shoot buttons to the default settings) and don't have to paste it from another Cave Story installation.

All in all it was kind of good. Like, I liked it.

 

1.1 is released. I took advice from Hayden and what Spiritga said in his playthrough, along with one minor change on my part.

Changelog:

Spoiler

- Fixed text bugs
- Fixed Bubbler chest, now you can only get one Bubbler
- Added a Save Point where Hayden suggested one, although there IS an Insta-Saver in your inventory
- Changed the white pebbles (or w/e they're called) in Cresent Moon Plains to a brighter shade

 

Can you plz answer my question Kayya..?

 

I missed this, it takes balls to let people save literally any time.

 

Who stole the Bubbler??
