I wish there was more long-form writing like this in the gaming world (there's occasionally some good long-form stuff on Polygon that is great, but not quite like this). I haven't played Cave Story before, but after reading through this, Cave Story is going on my list to play. :)

You might be interested in this [1] break down of Battle Garegga or this one [2] of Tetris the Grand Master (disclamer: I wrote this when I was still a teenager; I plan to rewrite it someday)

I'm glad you enjoyed it, and that it had that effect on you! Thanks for the kind words! :)

I would love to do something similar with undertale (or fez) right now, but I pretty much assumed no interest.

I may have to do this.
