Re: Link Dump
The Underside a great game, great controls, and uses Lua, useful for those in need of learning and practice.For those naysayers, who complain it's a Cave Story clone. An Underside User wrote: So, I was once one of those "Oh noes, a cave-story ripoff" guys. Yes, I am ashamed. The Underside preview showed me the light, though. Sure, there are some similarities, but based on the demo alone, this game will be, in fact, better than Cave Story.
But enough comparison with that other game, The Underside is awesome. It's fairly difficult, the controls are solid, the character and enemy designs are reminiscent of old-school games, only better-looking. Most importantly, though, this game is funny. I laughed while playing it. The "Underside Safety Committee" signs are funny, the fourth-wall references are funny, and Life Toast and the Invincible Hamburger are funny. Humor in games is hard to pull off effectively without sounding forced, but you've managed to nail it.
Bravo, sir, bravo.

Re: Link Dump
Conveniently I just finished playing Cave Story about a week ago and this game does not look better at all. Looks like a complete rip-off, I mean come on, using the gun to fly?
But I must play it before I can really judge it.

Re: Link Dump
Full Metal Sister MariluA game that's SUPPOSED to play like Metal Slug. It's far from metal Slug quality, but it's still fun. It's a doujin game, free though. You play as a nun, with a gun. (LOL LOL) And kill demons and save prisoners. Weapons include. A pistol. A Machine gun. Armor piercing gun. And a rocket luncher(Spelt it wrong on purpose cause the developers did) (I don't know if it's a parody of RAWKET LAWNCHAIR or if it's just the japanese). Vehicles includes: A Mech. Not gigantic, just human sized. NOTE:SCREENS IN THE LINKY

Re: Link Dump
So far I like it, but it needs the cutscenes to be skipable after you have seen them once http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmjLkeckzpY

Bravo, sir, bravo. I don't care what he says, the game is a complete rip-off. The only reason I would get it is to see those long cats. The only thing I've seen even more ripped of is the POP Station.

Re: Link Dump
That was in-fact one of the least funniest things I've ever seen. I didn't laugh, I didn't smirk. Nothing.
It was stupid.

The only thing I've seen even more ripped of is the POP Station. Aside from the inventory, health/save system and enemy item drops, what does it rip off? The art style is (intentionally) similar but playing through the demo didn't feel like I was playing Cave Story. Using elements from another game doesn't instantly make something a rip-off. There are elements of Metroid in TU but I've never heard anyone say it's a rip-off of that. Yes, it is inspired by Cave Story among other games, but it's a fun game in its own right.
