This is a rewrite/port of the popular freeware game Cave Story for Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. The engine uses many parts of SGDK, and written mostly in C.

It should work on any console or emulator*. It's fairly stable at this point but gets buggier as the game progresses.

(*) The current version of Genesis Plus GX is known to have a major issue with the game.

"Stable" releases can be found in the Releases tab.

For something more bleeding edge, try the Nightly.

If you have a 6 button controller:

• C - Jump, confirm
• B - Shoot
• A - Fast forward through scripted events
• Y, Z - Switch weapon
• Start - Pause / Item Menu

For 3 button, A cycles through weapons. The rest is the same.

• Stage Select: up, down, left, right, A + Start. Like Sonic.
• Infinite health/ammo: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, A + Start.

You can still get crushed and fall out of bounds.

Note that you can't load or save the game while cheating (including the counter).

1. Setup marsdev and python
2. Clone & make

To learn MD dev mostly.

No.

Not if you plan on selling it, unless you somehow got Nicalis permission.
