Fair enough!

Calling it cheating is incorrect. The word 'cheating' isn't appropriate. Cheating isn't just a personal opinion or self-set standard. There are rules in this game, and they're the ones that Pixel made. Obviously using the life pot doesn't break those rules, because it was clearly an intentional...

There is no 'opinion,' here. The life pot is an item which the game designer (all 100% one of him) put into the game intentionally. It is part of the game design that a player be able to use it. You might have your own ideas about what would make a good game, but there's no reason why anyone...

Well, I'm pretty sure Pixel intended for players to be able to use it, so I can't see how you'd call it 'cheating.' Maybe just 'cheap,' or 'too easy,' then.

NOT SO SECRET PRO-TIP: It's pretty easy to fill up your life at the heavy press. Just stand to the side and shoot the angels as the spawn, jumping when necessary to avoid being hit. Then hop over and back to collect hearts when it's safe. You could power up your weapons, too, I suppose. It's...

I'm sure I could get a better score with turbo, but... it actually makes it pretty easy. Really easy. And I'd probably have to run through the game to get the snake if I really wanted to get the best time, eh?

Congratulations. It took me a while to get through Hell, too, and each try would usually take me about 20 minutes. The funny thing about Cave Story for me is how much easier it becomes with turbo. I set up my controller so it had a turbo shoot key, and then I kicked ass through Hell in about 7...

Ah, I see. I was thinking I'd be too lucky if the main application didn't need to be edited.

Well, I believe that I could pretty easily install a Windows mod if it's just a matter of putting the files in the right places - as long as there're no modifications to the actual application, it should be fine. I wouldn't want to play it under emulation, though. That would be the lose, unless...

I don't suppose that any of the editing tools for Cave Story are available on OS X? Or, failing that, I don't suppose that the makers of the editors have documented the formats very well? It looks like almost all of the necessary data files are intact: if you open the package, all of the...

I'd guess that you're running the application from a (locked) disc image. First you need to copy Doukutsu.app to somewhere on your hard drive. Just drag it into your Applications folder, or your games folder if you have one.
