the game is kinda odd but it's nice to have a game like this where I don't have to think too hard, at least on easy mode, except the end is suddenly hard as hell lol
as of the latest beta it received parity w the nintendo switch version of the game. IT IS NOW 11/10 PLEASE PLAY THIS GAME IT HAS ALL THE QOL CHANGES FROM SWITCH UPDATE: I ended up beating the game with 0 life capsules on Hard difficulty, I BUSTED ALL OVER THE SCREEN

è tutto meraviglioso ma c'è un GRANDISSIMO problema: best ending
.
I wish I played the freeware version first years ago this is literally peak. it's short but the gameplay is great, the storytelling is masterful and emotional, the music and it's remakes go so hard despite the developer's lack of musical background, the character designs are so adorable and memorable, and it all might stick with you for a long while. it's a shame then that this ancient gem saw minimal discussion lately, even now after it's first update in over a decade. you just have to play cave story in any way you can soon, it's never too late to enjoy perfection. although, some people are complaining about extreme lag playing on this port after it's long awaited update went out of beta. I play on linux with a 4K monitor running this on proton hotfix (it isn't natively on linux anymore, yet) and this game mostly runs like a charm for me, so your mileage may vary. if it runs like ass for you, just get dokutsu-rs instead which is a similarly good remaster and it's free, you can easily find it on cavestory.one.
a metroidvania classic and must play. not perfect, but fun & unique. play the freeware version, too!
Good enough that I own 3 copies and the free version
Played this back in 2022, love this game
