yeah, quite a bit. however, it is also different... you have to narcotize the enemies before you can suck them in and you can only have one at a time in your gas gun. ;-)

Nice game. It was a little confusing at the begining because I did not read the instructions(and considering I did not play the original version), but now I see it is a good old school game.

Nice job!

Was porting hard? I wonder how hard it would be to port NXEngine/Cave Story to Gamecube.
