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*. It's fairly stable at this point but gets buggier as the game progresses.
(*) Genesis Plus GX crashes at startup. This is the only emulator known to have the issue.
"Stable" releases can be found in the Releases tab.
For something more bleeding edge, try the Nightly.
If you have a 6 button controller:
C- Jump, confirmB- ShootA- Fast forward through scripted eventsY,Z- Switch weaponStart- 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 and fall out of bounds.
Note that you can't load or save the game while cheating (including the counter).
- Setup marsdev and
python - Clone &
make
To learn MD dev mostly.
I'm not very interested in developing for that console. Why not give it a shot yourself?
Soon(tm)
There is no cartridge release, and I have nothing to do with anyone who makes them. All are bootlegs, the game isn't even complete.
Never. Unless I am given both Pixel's and Nicalis' blessing.
I can't stop you but I'm also not the one you should be asking. See the question right above this one. They can stop you.
An easy time sink that I could instead spend not being bored out of my mind with payless work.
