Oh come on, Ballos isn't that hard. Half the fight is spamming rockets into his eye.

Also, there's a health glitch that gets you Hp each time you enter and exit the map, most notably after the cave-in section.

GrayFace, presumably, plays mostly games with little to no difficulty curve (most "casual games" fall into this category) and is thus understandably surprised by Cave Story, a game with what most would consider a pretty typical difficulty curve.  That, or he missed most of the health upgrades.

I believe GrayFace will experience very similar "difficulty broken lines" if he plays some games from before the somewhat recent trend of making games more "accessible" (read: easier), or if he simply plays some more indie games.  (Sorry if this sounds pretentious.)

My own experience with the game, by the way, would place the Undead Core as being one of the easier bosses, especially if you actually bother to use your missiles, but both of the fights before it are pretty annoying, if not particularily difficult.

Sacred Grounds was a cakewalk after the first room, but going through it every time you lose to Ballos is indeed pretty annoying, if expected, and I honestly don't think Ballos himself is that difficult.

Cave story.
But seriously, you thought the game was bad? That's a first. :P2

That might need spoilers...Anyway, that's why you need to save an HP pot and use it before the battle. :P Don't be tempted to use one during the Undead Core battle, and ignore the Undead Core's lackeys and just hit the eye. :)

Strange, the first room was by far the easiest.
You've got a false belief BTW.

1. Opinion.
2. I'm atheist.

I know, I was just making a little joke (I am actually atheist though, and no, I don't believe souls or any other supernatural things exist, so that means no afterlife/reincarnation, just cessation of existence.)

Nifflas and Nurykabe are listed as "Score and Sound Design" in the WiiWare version credits.

I don't know about the rest of the WiiWare version (haven't gotten a chance to play it yet), but the music for it on the Channel screen made me smile.  And I've had a hard day.

It's just something about the bouncy chiptunes.  It makes me nostalgic not only of Cave Story but also of some older games from when I was growing up.


Unfortunately, I probably shouldn't play it now.  I'm trying to do my first LP - one of Iji.  That LP is the reason I've had such a hard day.  You'd understand why if you ever seen me in person.  But I said I'd go through with it, and I plan on doing it, and so I can't let myself get distracted with another game.

There's a post on Tinycartridge with Nurykabe's stance on the music and SFX issues of the WiiWare version.
