Doukutsu Monogatari

Doukutsu Monogatari ("The Cave Story") - by Japanese freeware developer PIXEL - is one of the finest freeware games I've ever played. This non-linear platformer boasts a great storyline, memorable characters, and great gameplay. The graphical style is clean and crisp and very cute. The sound effects and music are all retro and very fitting (no really, it sounds like he used an 8-bit chipset to produce them).
It's been an "in Japanese"-only release for quite a while now, but just recently an English patch was released by the rom-hacking group AGTP (many thanks to them for that!). So if you want to try an 8+ hour non-linear platformer with lots of items and upgradeable weapons, plenty of secrets, 3 different endings (no joke!), and more killer bunnies than you can shake a carrot at, then give Doukutsu a try NOW. I pity the fool that doesn't.
(..)
We're also talking three very different endings, plenty of plot, and quite a cast of charming characters. It really is a superb little gem
Een zeer verslavend (freeware) platform game met ijzersterke retro muziek:
