Overall, I really was impressed with this port of Cave Story. It had a decent amount of compromises, generally due to sprite limitations, but worked around a lot of them pretty well. Nothing negatively impacted the gameplay, which I think it is the most important part. But the Spur ended up being significantly more powerful than it was in the original game.

As for Cave Story itself, it's one of my favorite games of all time. A classic, the characters are great, the gameplay is great, and the art style is adorable. It's short, but it's also replayable with the amount of mutually exclusive weapons, or even if you choose to go for the true end or not.
