Cave Story (Doukutsu Monogatari) is a freeware game for the computer. Made by Studio Pixel, which is a one man team, in 2004. It is considered to be one of the biggest and best free game on the net.

You play as Quote, a young boy who wakes up in a mysterious cave with no memories. Discovering a evil plot to enslave everyone on the island, Quote goes off to fight against countless hordes of enemies. Along the way he meets Curly Brace a female soldier who befriends him.

The game play is the basic sidescrolling gun shooting style. It's also EXTREMELY FUCKING HARD!!! With 3 different endings and tons of secrets, it has high replay value.

Now here's the thing about the music: The guy who made the game has no musical experience! basically he just took random notes and put them together and listened. If he liked it then it went into the game. You would thing that the music would suck then right? WRONG!!!

This game has some of the most catchy tunes you will ever listen! the theme (Cave Story) is my favorite out of the whole soundtrack.

now the cons:

. It's REALLY FUCKING HARD! At some points it's I WANT TO BE THE GUY hard.
. Can't skip the cut scenes which sucks when you die and have to start the scene over which happens allot!
. More Plot! There's not really allot of plot. We don't know how you get there or what happened to make you loose your memories. Well, that is unless you are good enough to get the Best ending. then it's better explained but it's really fucking hard to do and it still leaves things unexplained.

That's basically all I had to complain about.
