The first room in the Labyrinth was always a fun place to practice your footwork.

Love these, please keep making them.

I think I've shared (part of) this story before, but eh, always nice to reminisce. Sorry for the wall of text. So my dad found a bunch of free games somewhere online and downloaded some for us (me and my sister) to play, back in like 2009-ish? I think? One of them was Cave Story. We got up to...

I'm curious, what programming language is this? I think <6 minutes is already a pretty good run, otherwise Pixel wouldn't change the title screen with that score. Anyways, congratulations on getting <3 minutes!

Do you really need three layers of folders in the zip? I think most people (myself included) would prefer a windowed configuration by default. Also, I can't seem to be able to set it to windowed through DoConfig for some reason? The game crashes immediately with a garbled error message... I...

On that note, was it ever really explained why destroying the Core makes the red flower-affected Mimigas turn back to normal? What's the connection? My memory's a bit rusty on this.

The mysterious intrinsic magical power of the Island keeps it afloat at just the right spot , as it was for the millenia before Ballos came around. (I do wish there were more clues about this magic in particular - something to do with the Cthulhus?) The Core doesn't know Quote and Curly are...

The Doctor does say "There's still time", meaning the Core was only brought close to destruction but was not fully destroyed. The Core was made by Jenka with the express purpose of cancelling out Ballos's negative energy. Jenka is implied to be extremely powerful herself. (There's still the...

This must have taken a lot of effort, and the results look very polished. Kudos! I hope someone finds this useful. I'm a little curious about all the extra characters in the font image file, especially the more graphical ones. Were they ever really used? Why did Pixel go out of his way to draw...

Good point, I forgot about how you technically don't need a booster there I presume you don't mean natural degradation due to lack of maintenance. So something like a dead man's switch to keep the eggs from falling into the wrong hands? Interesting. Did the unnamed professor maintaining the...

There's also the question of whether Egg Corridor was destroyed before or after Kazuma got to the Egg Observation Room. (And how it was destroyed, but I'm sure that's been discussed in some other Theory thread.) You're right that Egg Corridor is normally not too bad, Sue and Kazuma could...

You see this occasionally. I guess Sue going through Egg Corridor and back wasn't too bad, but Kazuma went through the destroyed Egg Corridor with all the rubble, stalactites, and Dragon Zombies. Momorin and Itoh manage to make it through the Last Cave, where you need a booster to avoid all the...

Took me forever to get back to this, huh? Several minor fixes have been made, I'd appreciate giving it another try! https://akantares.onrender.com/

There is no indication in-game ('textual evidence' as they call it) that Quote, or indeed any other character, can hear the music.

Hearing about people talk about their first experiences with Cave Story and how it's inspired them to be more creative is always really nice, considering how deep a role this game has played in my own life. Aqua, I really enjoyed playing Cascade and Lost Machine. I should really check out your...

I was digging through some old stuff, and apparently I did make one more of this kind of thing - but forgot to upload it. I also found a bunch of empty template copies, indicating I had more jokes planned in this vein, but never actually wrote them down and now I'll never know what pinnacles of...

It was pointed out to me that there is a more likely reading of the protagonist's name, so I have edited the translation to reflect that. I have also made a Ren'Py port, which includes a windows/linux, mac, and web versions. These are available on my site here. @andwhyisit could you update the...

Dunno why I only now remember this, but way back when I was first playing Cave Story (and hadn't yet figured out how to get past Egg Corridor, nor had the idea to look it up online because I didn't use the internet much at that age), for some weird reason I had the notion that each time you...

Something similar could probably be achieved from scratch without too much effort, especially what with all the recreations of the engine floating around. I'm surprised to see any resemblance to Guxt, given how far apart they were in development!
