this game is fun af. Pixel does not miss. the best part is that Nicalis didn't publish it. if you compare it to cave story its ok. its very linear and the story and writing are very basic compared to cave story but its still really fun and the music is really good. one gripe I have, the mechanic where you continuously fire in one direction while moving around is a good idea, but it feels a bit finicky. I know on ios, you can choose which way you fire without having to first move in the direction but I don't think that would work on controller. maybe on keyboard and mouse but not on controller. something like having 2 fire buttons, one for shooting forward and one for shooting in the last direction you were facing, would be a good idea. it doesn't completely ruin the game but for a game where you can't afford to get hit on the harder difficulties it gets rather annoying and it kills momentum

didn't expect much, was a pleasant surprise. it's cute and fun with just the right amount of difficulty, couldn't be bothered to beat zangyou mode, but the game holds up very well regardless.

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.

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
