Downloaded this game on Friday and it's pretty much taken over my life for the last couple of days. I'm pretty close to the endgame, but good lord is Last Cave (Hidden) difficult.
I've gotten a lot better with the Booster, for obvious reasons...
I will keep my soul in a place out of sight, Far off, where the pulse of it is not heard.Actually, I half-cheated.
I copied the game, edited my second copy and put a save point and weapon/health refill right before the final boss.
Then I practiced the final boss every so often for a period of several months.
Then I went through Sacred Grounds very, very slowly and carefully, and then beat the final boss, in the regular non-edited version.

It's probably a fencepost error in whatever routine blits text to the screen. That doesn't help you fix it, though.
It seems unlikely that it'd be affected by your save, so I recommend saving your profile file somewhere else and reinstalling the program.

Feels kind of anticlimactic, though. I'd completely forgotten about the Life Pot until my last run through. Using it made the last fight... significantly easier.

Also, Cave Story at the E3

And that's how I ended up in the wardrobe. It Just Bugs Me!The boss of Egg corridor can be beaten by standing at a distacne and firing rapidly, since your shots cancel his out. Balfrog takes heavy damage if you find the right spot to stand with the fireball, or of course from the missiles period. I can certainly picture why you'd have trouble with him, though, because even after beating the game multiple times and many mods I never really got to feeling comfortable around those fans.

I don't see how the trailer is so awesome. It's just gameplay footage.
And the main theme really doesn't match the Outer Wall in mood at all.
Tsunde Ray: Try copying your game, editing the copy to have a save point and weapon refills in the corridor before Ballos, practicing Ballos, and then later going back to the real game and doing Hell very slowly.

Are you rushing? Take your time when doing Hell. At the beginning of the third room, you can make cherubs appear at will while standing on the platform if you keep going back between the third and second room. Use that area to refill all your health and experience before continuing.
Legally Free ContentWhy would you grind EXP in Hell? the best weapons for the Bonus Boss either don't need EXP or are harmed by it.
Both The Spur and Nemesis outclass pretty much every gun in the game. The only gun that even comes close are the upgraded missiles and they have finite ammo, so it's highly improbable to have them as your main weapon, so it's equally unlikely to have their EXP drained, so grinding EXP means that you are grinding EXP for either the Blade (which doesn't even need that much EXP) or a very-sub optimal weapon. And if you are using such weapon, you are most likely going to die anyways.

Here's how it works, from when I start a new game:
It writes the line in the middle, and then switches to the next screen, where most of the introduction text is going to be written.
It then writes three lines, where the second line overlaps the line written earlier. It starts at the top again, writing three lines as before, and then it writes the fourth line by scrolling down into blank space. It then scrolls down again, writing the fifth line over the first line, which has now appeared as writing on the bottom row of the text box. (and the sixth over the second, again scrolling everything up, and so on)
Did that make sense?
