You control a little amnesiac who runs around helping out these rabbit-ish creatures called Mimigas while trying to find your way out of the giant cave inside the floating island which makes up the game's setting.

This is a free game made by one man:

It's been five years since I first thought to myself, "Hey, why not try making a game?" I developed Cave Story at my own pace, taking my time, and while doing so I released a few other smaller games as well.

It has many nice touches that come out if you take the time to play. Shows how much simple things and bare bones gameplay can still add up to an enjoyable experience.

The environments are strange and unexpected.. Might be a bit challenging for some and frustrating at times, but I enjoyed it overall.

This was made by a single guy using GameMaker, and given away for free! See developer's links below for more info

Well, when I make any game, I make
a game that Id like to see made by someone
else; like partly as just an effort to inspire other people to make little games. I know a lot of people who are really talented, or who have some ambition, but they dont do anything, because they just think they cant....
]]> 26 Nov 2006 11:33:25 It's a Magical World I was walking in my back yard the other day and wishing I had a wonderland to explore like Calvin and Hobbes. It always seemed like they had miles and miles of forest and adventure waiting for them.
If this game ever gets finished (and I'm going into this with no experience at all, only ambition), it will be an adventure platformer similar to Seiklus and Knytt - though slightly more linear.

This game will be free as it is my tribute to Bill Watterson's work. I hope to have a working demo by June.

"It's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy...Let's go exploring!"
