This is a rewrite/port of the popular freeware game Cave Story for Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. It should work on any console or emulator. The main story is "finished", only little things and bugfixes remain.
"Stable" releases can be found in the Releases tab.
The latest builds that have not gone through as much testing are available here.
If you have a 6 button controller:
C- Jump, confirmB- ShootA- Fast forward through scripted eventsY,Z- Switch weaponX- Map systemStart- Pause / Item Menu
For 3 button, A cycles through weapons. The rest is the same.
- Stage Select: up, down, left, right, A + Start. Like Sonic.
- Infinite health/ammo: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, A + Start.
You can still get crushed, drown and fall out of bounds.
Note that you can't load or save the game while cheating (including the counter).
