I started playing this game around midnight; I blinked and it was 7 o'click! For being only $5, I'd say I definitely got my money's worth.

I received this as a gift from one of my best friends a while ago and just got around to it. I cannot, in all good conscience, recommend this game, as it crashes consistently at the start of test area 01. As soon as I round the corner from the elevator, the game freezes and the audio loops. I've done what little I could in-game to fix it (changed the resolution, disallowed the Steam overlay, and put it into windowed mode) to no avail. I find it laughable that a game which ran smoothly on the last generation of consoles would succumb to a modern PC, but I suppose that's the way it goes, right? It's a pity, since the graphics are much more polished here than they ever were there.

I received this as a gift from a good friend of mine in our annual Steam winter gift exchange.

I'm enjoying the story so far. Secret areas are challenging without being too annoying. Jumping is slightly floatier than I would like, but that's a small nitpick. Overall, it's a nice little shmup with an endearing art style; highly recommended for those who love platform shooters. If you enjoy this and aren't aware, they made another game called Kero Blaster, which I also enjoyed and is in the same vein as Cave Story.
