    It’s certainly not as floaty as Cave Story, which is objectively one of the greatest Metroidvanias ever made. Physics alone a great game does not make!

      arguably the parkour platforming physics are important to a parkour platformer, though…

      Oh come on, that one literally puts you on a floating island. Of course it’s going to be floaty! Lol

            Haha, I’ve looooong since beaten it but there are certainly Gen Z gamers out there who haven’t…

              I don’t even have that excuse. Lol

              I have come across cave story + before on steam, but didn’t really realize it was a remake. It slipped my radar somehow, but I’ll have to add it to the list I suppose 👍

                The original is freeware on https://www.cavestory.org/ and was made all by 1 person: programming, story, art, music, you name it… and it’s a like <6 MB, haha, which is insane. I’ve never played either of its remakes, though I know they add more stuff.
