An awesome freeware 2d sidescrolling platform/adventure game is now available as a native Linux game. You can now download the native version of Cave Story from this site.
The configuration GUI is still a Windows-only binary (DoConfig.exe) but can easily be ran with Wine, though I really wish they could have converted it as well since the configuration file is a binary blob of data that can’t be edited. Still, I’m happy to see the game as a native executable. Thanks to the person that did the conversion.
Note: You’ll probably have to do a search for the Linux port’s download, since the link on that site seems to be down. Just do a search for “doukutsu-linux.tar.bz2″.
