From the author of Cave Story (I just realised that I've never reviewed Cave Story, but then again I hardly think anyone isn't aware of it!) comes this cute pixelly exploration game. If you've played Cave Story then I guess there's not too much to say about this since it's in the same vein only you're into sea. The story follows a similar structure too (not to say that it's the same thing of course). Anyway, the go-places-talk-to-characters-do-chores-get-better-abilities mechanism works really nice and the game can be completed in 1-2 sittings, so grab a copy and try it out!
