    I guess I've gotten used to the games I play being tediously difficult but it feels like this game is apologizing to me for putting hazards in my way. I've seen three save rooms in one area and it's kind of nice

      @redenchilada In Cave Story? Riley's right, don't get used to it. By the end the game reaches a pretty commendable level of difficulty, it's genuinely challenging to get the good ending.

        @northernnarwhal Yeah but it's nice when a game actually tries to ease into the difficulty

          @redenchilada It is, I actually really love the progression of difficulty in Cave Story. It actually lets you get accustomed to its world and mechanics before it throws skill demanding feats in your face, it essentially paces itself where it only becomes more difficult when it knows the player can handle said difficulty based on previous trials. It's actually incredible simple theoretically, but that's what makes it work so incredibly well.
