Cave Story
About Cave Story
Cave Story is the legendary freeware metroidvania made single-handedly by Daisuke 'Pixel' Amaya: a mute robot boy wakes in a cave system, befriends rabbit-like Mimigas, and uncovers a story with real heart and several endings. Its weapons level up by collecting energy — and level down when you take hits, which keeps every fight honest.
It's routinely cited among the best indie games ever made, and the browser port is the easiest way to find out why.

Tips for Cave Story
- The Polar Star trade-in decision later is permanent — look up nothing, decide with your gut.
- Keep weapon energy topped up before boss doors; a leveled-down gun makes fights miserable.
- Talk to everyone twice. The story and the best ending both hide in dialogue.
