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...

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.

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:
- 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
