Aight, my best go would be Shovel Knight.

It is fast paced and requires precise platforming.

Not really, because the cavestory fanbase was rabid and attacked/hacked anyone who dared even make a game similar to cavestory.

fucking shame too. The Underside could have been pretty good.

Lol, don't tell me the other option was going to be Undertale.

>>330351296
Undertale.

>>330352334
the story is similar

Treasure Adventure Game

Y tho? It's a jumpy shooty game with an upgrade/downgrade weapon system. I can't really think of many games were you Level Down when damaged but other than that it's just a solid platformer.

Hydra Castle Labyrinth. Super underrated gem. Try the Momodora series too.

I should add, they aren't gun-focused like Cave Story, but they have similar elements and are generally good games to check out if you enjoyed CS.

New Momodora is cool

La-Mulana.

The stories weren't similar at all. The setting was in a cave. Flowers played a big part. That's about it.

>>330351296
indie developers and doujin circles shit out metroidvanias a dozen at a time.

Try Momodora

But I did beat Cave Story, just because indie platformers is a meme doesn't mean Fez and Braid play like Cave Story.

Kero blaster

Kero Blaster. It takes pretty much all the issues with CS (i.e.: backtracking, overly floaty movement), tosses them out, gives you a bonus hard mode that redesigns every single level from the ground up, and a bonus NG+ version of the normal mode with 3 secret stages and a Boss Rush.
