Bumping for interest.

Regular cadence mode isn't terribly difficult, but all zones mode and Aria mode ate real ball breakers. The game even does a replay of the last 10 seconds or so of your runs so you can watch exactly how you fucked up.

It was all about knowing the controls, anon. Know the speed and trajectory of your jumps, know how to slow down mid-air. With practice you could get very good at doing that level.

Just because it was extremely hard (which it was) doesn't mean it was bullshit.

By the way, there were way harder levels in Rapture Dark World.

I'm trying to beat the Lute currently and it's fucking awful. At least 1-x aren't that hard, so I at least get there often enough.

Controls are too slippery and flimsy and there and the jump sometimes seemed finnicky and straight up didn't even register.

N++ is much better and harder Tbh

I'm with you guys. This game was humbling as fuck. It really made me aware of the upper limit of my intelligence. The later levels are some fucking MENSA shit.

I love the game, but Cave Story isn't that hard. It's just the Last Cave and Hell being such a spike from the rest of the game.

Not him, but I 100%-ed it and he's not completely wrong. He exaggerates, and there are sections with genuine, high difficulty, but the game rarely tests your ability to be consistently good.

How did you 100% it without playing the Warp Zones?

>>333453050
>n++ is stale as fuck and the controls are awful
Lmao, GTFO. You've never even played it. N++ has the slickest controls and best physics and momentum of any platformer out there by a mile.

Unless it's an issue with my controller, the controls are finnicky, it literally just feels the game sometimes doesn't even react to my button press. And beside that, I feel they're just too slippery and there isn't enough aerial maneuverability and the wall jumping feels slippery and awkward. Maybe it just feels odd because I'm coming off the perfect controls of N++

It's takes serious reflexes and memorization to beat a lot of the dark world levels.
>>333454379
I don't believe you, unless your definition of "100%" is pretty loose.
>>
>>333454629
N++ is uniquely awful and it's a pain to look at anyway. Keep palying ur shitty games m8.
>>
>>333455270
Post your trophy card for proof that you actually played it. Because it has by far the most advanced phsyics and momentum, tightest controls, and top notch level design of any platformer out there.

The physics can take some getting used to because you need to build speed when jumping, need to decelerate instead of stopping suddenly, and have to use walljumping and vaulting at precise angles, etc. to achieve success. But once you understand how the game controls, there's nothing out there like it and it controls like a dream.

He means it doesn't involve the antiquated practice of making you start the entire game over.

Which was actually more a result of "limitations" than turn-based games ever were :^)
