I completely understand what you mean. I admit when I played the game I immediately thought "Cave Story!", but I respect the game as it's own entity, and I don't think you "took too much" from it at all.

Wow. If you would've jus said "yeah, I like cave story" then I would've bin fine with that, but come on! You use computer terminals with floppy disks and red crosses on em to both save and replenish health, and they're usually in designated rooms right next to each other! You've got the same UI, even the red numbers that pop off guys when you shoot em, missiles do that smoke-trail thing. This is SO Cave Story. I'd have no problem with that if you'd just admit it.

Anyway I came here to say that it's really fucking good. I don't usually play a flash game for more than ten minutes, but I've come back to this one at least twice to try n beat it. The first (and last? I dunno) boss is so hard :(

I understand as well, I mean, yeah, its like Cave story,
but you built it from flash, I wish I knew howto script this
and make my own version

People on NG dont seem to take in effort when judging stuff

I totally agree with that. This game rules!
When I left a review for Condition, I put the wrong link. Here's the real one.

i loved the game but yeah the CS parallels are very obvious:

-first weapon is an unlimited weak pistol
-second is a missile launcher with limited ammo, however its much more powerful and slower and has a big ol blast radius
-like ismel said, the save points/health replenishers are pretty much identical
-exact same controls pretty much

cave story didnt invent pixel art though, so i cant really say anything about that
