Nov. 2024

I adore this game. The story, the gameplay, the music, it's all quirky and brilliant. Exactly what I'd expect and look for in a Studio Pixel game. If you like Cave Story, buy this game. If you didn't like Cave Story, I'm not exactly sure how that's possible, and buy this game regardless.

Nice, always keep coming back. Decent graphics, music and gameplay.

Sept. 2024

Retro to a fault at times, and doesn't really shake up the genre. Thankfully, it's streamlined enough to the point where the normal mode is not as hard or as punishing as some of the negative reviews make it seem. Thoughtful gameplay is definitely rewarded, and the weapon variety is nice. The hard mode is essentially the second half of the game, so the length is longer than it looks, too. But I didn't feel like spending much time with that one, especially after the difficulty spike near the end of the normal mode. (Don't worry; it wasn't anywhere near as crazy as the perfect ending in Cave Story.) I think Kero Blaster is a worth a shot for fans of NES-style platformers and run-n-gunners. In that case, the worst thing that could happen is that you refund it after about half of the normal mode. If you hate NES-era difficulty or limited retries, though, put the game out of your mind forever.

Actual must play sidescroller with immaculate level design, 10/10. Everyone should get government mandated access to kero blaster at least once in their lives. Hard mode made me yell unspeakable things at the frog.

July 2024

Kero Blaster is the most charming retro shooter I've ever played. Extremely fun and challenging without being cruel. The frog is so cute <3
