Summary
Developed, designed and programmed over five years entirely by Daisuke Amaya, Cave Story 3D is a 2D side-scrolling platforming game with 3D graphics intended as a homage to the classic games of the last few decades. The PC version has already been received positively, and with the move to the 3DS this modern classic can now be taken anywhere.
The player must survive against a large variety of enemies and environmental hazards. Later in the game, the player must navigate these narrow passageways using a limited flight ability. Gameplay mixes a combination of high speed shooting, platforming, exploration and light puzzling.
The player awakens in a dark cave with no memories of their past. The island is populated by the Mimigas, which are rabbit-like humanoids, who are being persecuted by the "Doctor". By collecting multiple weapons over the course of the game and switching between them in-game, the player can defeat enemies to collect yellow triangles which improve the weapon energy equipped. Taking damage causes your weapon to downgrade and lose energy.
