Death Story

I got through it finally... after 52 tries. <_<

Oh btw, I hate you and you're evil. =P

I tried at least 100 times, and still resorted to profile.dat editing to get through.

Although I could see that it was possible to get through.

 

SaveEdit is always your best friend when it comes to dealing with a certain obsesive-compulsive-disorder, wherein you become obsessed with gettin owned, pwned, and so utterly losered-out.

 

I've been working with Sue's Workshop quite a bit recently, hoping to make a hack of Cave Story which is actually fun to play. Unfortunately, I am lazy and can't be bothered to make new tilesets for certain maps. Since there's not much I can do story-wise without new tilesets, I came up with the idea of an ultra-hard Cave Story hack, Death Story. Death Story features:
+ The exact storyline of Cave Story
+ No original music
+ Only minor graphics tweaking
+ Bastard evil level designs that are not fun in the least
+ Mushrooms

You may torture yourself if you wish by downloading this madness here. Please remember that this is only a short demo, and not much is completed. I'd just like the general public's opinion on the idea, so I know whether I should finish this or not. Have (no)fun~

EDIT!

Since a couple people have gotten stuck in the Start Point (and a few more inevitably will) I've included a solution for getting past it.

On his fifteenth birthday
A young robot set out on his quest
To become "The Guy"

Instant kill spikes spammed everywhere? It's IWBTG+CaveStory. Definately worth downloading!

 

I made it as far as the lake and kept drowning.

AHAHAHAHA OH WOW.

 

Get that crap outta here

 

I know I'm likely going to get chewed out for bumping this, but...

...Here's a Death Story tribute video, which will not be posted by me on YouTube for a good reason, which is the usage of a tune by Robert Miles from the album, Dreamland, called Princess of Light (Or, in short, Music Infringement Cowardice, even though I have the album itself).

Why make a video that has the potential to infringe on Robert's music (At least by YouTube's standards)? I FINALLY got past that 1st room! That, or playing Death Story has left me mentally scarred & I made an odd choice as to what tune I should sync up the sounds to...

(EDIT: I also used a bit of another Dreamland tune, Fable, in my initial Death Story video, but the audio file wasn't present there.)

 

I hate this mod. D:

 

Too bad this was never finished.

 

I managed to get past the first room... and figured out that you need to get the health boost capsule next. Has anyone managed to do that? It seems to be pretty thoroughly blocked off.

That's the point. You're not supposed to get that. You are supposed to be susceptible to the -5 spikes forever.
