I guess so, the readme states:

The game Cave Story was released in 2004 and made available in the freeware version after more than five years in development…

It is good, a nice mix of story and action I think plus the (unique?) concept of your owl carrying characters who have their own abilities is interesting. The puzzles are pretty simple it’s mostly about the combat though there’s also a little bit of stealth needed at times.

Difficulty does ramp up quite fast, or at least compared to something like Mario Wonder but Owlboy is a shorter game so I guess that’s to be expected. The pixel art is luscious and there are some memorable scenes. In reviews I think it ranges from 70-90% and I’d give it 80+ for sure.

If you have a linux machine Cave Story is also freely available via flatpak: https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.gitlab.coringao.cavestory-nx

Owlboy, continuing my slow progress. Reminds me of Cave Story a bit.

Proton has already begun to cut some ties with Switzerland over "legal uncertainty." Lumo is the first product to change home, with Germany currently hosting its servers.

The company has also confirmed it’s developing facilities in Norway, while investing over €100 million to build a “sovereign European stack” for its services, ensuring it “can’t be held hostage by Switzerland” if the laws change for the worse.

Switzerland’s loss is Germany and Norway’s gain

Done this for my partner - usb goes in to boot to Linux, take it out to boot back to pre-existing Windows, really simple. Fedora will install to usb no problem. Windows can’t screw up this way either, bit safer then using same drive. Speed has not been a problem.
