Indie Game of the Week!

Hey guys, I have decided to start a quick showing of a few indie games and give some download links (its all freeware so dont get all crazy mods)

To begin with ill show the first indie game, I ever played and what got me into them. (and a classic in all our hearts :3)

Doukutsu

Thats right folks, CAVE STORY! By Pixel!
(Im calling it by its original name so its easier to find the free non-plus version)

Its what many have called not only the best indie game ever made, but the best FREE game available!

Why is it so fun you ask? Well its your classic metroid style platformer shooter (no, its NOT a shump) but its got a funny, nice story about a armed Recon unit, named Quote who was one of the first robots sent to the caves during the war, he soon meets a few bunny like creatures named Migima who are being terrorized by a mad doctor who wants to weaponized the migima and use them to take over the surface. This takes you on a wild, fun and bitter-sweet story. But one of the things that REALLY made this game what it is, is the sheer amount of choices and tactics that such a simple game pushes, while the story IS linear and only gives you a few choices in alternate endings (Good, Bitter-Sweet, Bad, Very Bad (you die :I)) it also creates a wonderfully original world, full of mystery. This game without a doubt (IMO) is what indie games are MADE for. New, Fresh, Original ideas and fun. It may not be THE BEST indie game anymore, but like a close friend of ours named OoT, it will ALWAYS be one of the better classics.

The Plus version is vastly superior.

And how does calling it by its original name make finding the non-Plus version easier?
(Also, the original name is Doukutsu Monogatari, FYI.)
 
Eh, when I first looked it up for the free version I kept running into wiiware news, I thought others would run into the same problem.

Well when I searched for "Cave Story Download" on Google, the first link was the download for the regular version. :/
