What I mean is, the art isn't relevant for the question of how the Outer Wall is lit, because it's not always nighttime on the Outer Wall. All it means is that Pixel felt like drawing that scene at night.

Ohmygod... I posted the artwork only because The Joker requested it. As I said before, all I said I meant in-fucking-game.

Super simple answer why it's night on the outer wall and day on the balcony?
In the plantation you have a rest after momorin gets the last peice of the rocket so by the time you wake it'd probably be day

Wrong. If you go back to the Outer Wall after the rest, it's still night.

It takes time to go through the final cave?

Yeah, I thought of that, too, but seriously, how long can that take?

There are two moons, and one was showing on the Outer Wall, and one was showing on the Balcony. The reason it's light when you get to the Balcony is because obviously time had passed, and the sun was rising. We don't see the sun, however, because the island is above ground level, so when the sun is rising, you wouldn't be able to see it by simply turning your head. You would have to lean over the edge of the island.

I dunno, but the black night sky looks like it's still mid-night (no, not exactly midnight), so the trip through the Final Cave would have to take at least hour or so...

He's talking about in game time, not real life time.

Even in game time it still should take up to half an hour tops.

How is there light in the cave? Most of the time there is no obvious light source, and when you're on the outer wall, it's night (though, it's day on the balcony). I don't think you've got night-vision either, because all the Mimiga can see and Infrared doesn't penetrate water, so it wouldn't work whenever you were submerged (and you wouldn't be able to see into the water)

No one ever seems to mention having trouble seeing in The Cave, though at certain times the background looks darker other times.

Thoughts?

Well, there could be long off-screen tunnels between the doors...

Speaking of the door, why did he actually directly fall down as he exits the cave? Why must he do that? Can't he let us decide? Can't Pixel-sama let his audience decide what they want happening inside the game?[/sarcasm]

Pixel has said himself that he wanted to leave a lot of stuff up to the players.
