Soryline:
- Personally, I think it's kinda weak of a story line how the Demon Crown and Ballos somehow got resurrected even though this comes after the ending where Ballos dies. I understand that you were limited with costumability with this being your first mod, so I don't hold anything against you.
- The way that you use all the old bosses that you've already defeated in the original CS seems awkward with the exception of the frenzied mimiga at the beginning, but I know it wouldn't be interesting without them.
Dialog:
- You did a fair job with representing most of the characters, but Misery and Professor booster could have both been more elloquent.
- In my opinion, you over used face picture number 25 for Curly(the not smiling but eyes open one). There were times like the jailbreak scene where it would have been real fitting for her to have face picture number 19(the smiling one), but instead you put number 25, or times like in the dialog before fighting Ballos where Curly with that face picture just seemed awkward. But I don't have any major complaints elsewhere.
Level design:
I must say that level design is this mod's strength. The returning villains and bosses bugs me, but the level design is actually pretty good. No real critiques here.
Glitches:
- At the beginning, if you progress through that cave without talking to Curly, you never get the fireball, and you're stuck in the room with the frenzied mimiga
- If you walk up to the teleporter and find that it isn't working, it says "the blue robot was right," regardless of wether you talked to him or not.
- When you fight Misery, if you are directly above a spike when you deal the last blow, you will land on the spikes, and not be able to move, and keep getting hurt by them repeatedly as the cutscene with Misery being angry goes up. I believe that you get killed by this before the cutscene ends even if you have full health. Also, no victory music plays when you defeat Misery.
- What you did with the credits was kinda silly, and having the credit art images from the original Cave Story was silly as well. But I understand with this being your first mod, and that you are momentarily working on a much more professional mod. But you could have at least made your own rooms for what is shown during the second half of the credits.
