Cave Story+ is a Cave Story remake for PC, Mac (now defunct), and Nintendo Switch developed by Nicalis. It was released on Steam on November 22, 2011 as well as the Mac App Store on September 7, 2011. It features remastered graphics and music as well as several new game modes, one of which being exclusive to the Nintendo Switch version. 1 Differences 1.1 Audio and visuals 1.1.1 Seasonal.
In our way, we'll find dozens of levels full of platforms, puzzles, jump and enemies. Although, luckily, we'll also find friendly characters who will help us.
Playability and graphics of the game a re very similar to the ones we can find when playing any Super Nintendo classic, what means we'll enjoy a super 2D adventure with a simple control system and a graphic field deliciously pixelated.
Cave Story is one of the classics in videogame history who any gamer should play.

Note on NXEngine: NXEngine is an open source reproduction of the Cave Story engine. Most of the other ports here are built using the original source code from Pixel, but NXEngine ports are built from a fork of the NXEngine source core, at any stage of NXEngine's development. Chances are that the differences will be unnoticeable or really minor to most, but it is worth keeping in mind.
Note on NXEngine-evo: NXEngine-evo is a fork of NXEngine whose primary feature is widescreen support.
Note on CSE2: CSE2 is another open source reproduction of the Cave Story engine, except it is designed for accuracy and faithfulness to the original.
