**Game History:**

-----------------



The story revolves around a character who mysteriously awakens inside

a cave with no memory or recollection of how he got there.



It turns out that the cave is actually the interior of a large floating island

that is populated by rabbit-like creatures.



The cave also hides a very powerful and magical artifact known

as the Demon Crown that is being sought by an army of robots.



It is up to the players to guide the protagonist through the various levels of

the cave fighting back the robots in order to obtain the artifact.



**Game Play and Features**

--------------------------



Cave Story is a Japanese freeware side-scrolling platform game that can be

played with either the keyboard or a gamepad. Players will solve puzzles

and fight enemies on each map while trying to collect weapons and items to

help him along the way.



Includes some RPG elements with more than three dozen different items

that can be found and stored in the player's inventory for later use.



Players won't get tired of fighting the same monsters over and over again

simply because there are so many different monsters in game and there always

seems to be something new to tackle where each representing a unique set of

challenges that the player must overcome to defeat.



**Development**

---------------



The game Cave Story[1] was released in 2004 and made available in the freeware

version after more than five years in development by Daisuke Amaya otherwise

known by the stage name "Pixel", who designed and coded the game by himself.



Since the release 'Pixel' has developed a number of other platforms,

retro style games through his company Studio Pixel[2].



It has been translated into English by Aeon Genesis Translations[3].
