From the creator of cave story comes a smaller yet no less fun adventure. Do I find this game as influential or deep as cave story? Not at all.
But is it a fun time? Absolutely, and it has a lot of replay value with the weapon upgrade system and multiple playthroughs.
The Story is simple but fun, and the music is on par with Cave Story in my personal opinion. It is hard to believe both these games were made by a single incredibly passionate man.
The game also includes a hard mode with its own story and a pretty hardcore finale on par with Running Hell from Cave Story if you were to ask me.
If you enjoy platforming action games, especially run and gun type games, this is a pretty great one.

Thank you based Pixel
Pixel proving once again that you can do something very good with simple concepts. It doesn't quite reach the masterpiece that is Cave Story. But it is still something of very high quality, I emphasize being something very simple but made with a lot of love and care.
É uma pena que este jogo não tenha port para consoles, senão seria mais visualizado. (DESATULIZADO DE OUTRA LISTA...)
Charming, challenging but not overly so, and an all-around delightful game! I bought a SNES controller with USB capabilities just to play this game, which really was the cherry on top!
A more traditional platformer made by the same guy who made Cave Story. It has so much heart and should be played by anyone who loves retro games. A true hidden gem.
Cute frog. Much less impressive than Cave Story, but a fun lil thing.
finally a game that lets you live out the american dream of shooting your boss with a laser weapon
I like it more than cave story : )
i could gush for hours about this game and how important it is to me. without this game i wouldn't like a lot of the things i do today
Is it too controversial to say I preferred this over Cave Story?
Nearly 10 years of being Pixel-less, but he simply refuses to disappoint. Shouts out to Pink Hour and Pink Heaven, more games should have unique demos cuz why the hell not???
Still working on a hard mode playthrough, but this is a very good retro platformer/shooter. Very simple controls, gameplay and graphical style but immensely enjoyable from all angles. Just the right balance of difficulty too, even in the hard mode. They don't throw bullshit challenges at you for no reason, the levels are just very well designed and feel fair while punishing you if you slip up. Great music too and just overall pretty damn charming.
Funny frog needs some time off 🐸
Fun and challenging bite sized platformer from the creators of Cave Story. It plays kind of like a mix between Cave Story and a floatier mega man. You can finish this in about an hour. Solid game but nothing amazing.
Cracking wee game which was nice to get into after finishing Tears of the Kingdom. Great platforming run and gun fun, with some lovely 8 bit visuals and music. Just what I needed.
Even though I didn't think this was as good as Cave Story, I still really am glad that this exists and that I got to play it. At the end of the day it's just cute and enjoyable. Thanks Pixel.
this game's unique idea is doing a bunch of not-at-all unique ideas really really well
delightful game all around short and breezy with great writing
Hard mode relies too much on insta death but aside from that the game is just pretty short and average. Don't get the hype with this one.
fun and challenging
Fun retro platformer with frogge
very cool shooter platformer with nice graphics
One of the best action platformers I've ever played that doesn't start with "Mega" and end in "Man".
A short and odd game where you run, you gun, you work overtime for your demon controlled boss, and you only get paid on commission. Started out as a passion project, and took a darker satirical tone when the dev got screwed over by a publisher.
Kero Blaster is self-consciously retro to a fault. While the music and graphics are well-executed in a low-bit style, the gameplay itself does not improve on the flaws from that era. The varied weaponry combines with level and enemy design to create tense action sequences that challenge both your tactics and reflexes. Unfortunately the outdated checkpoint system only tested my patience. Repeating an entire level because I died on a boss is not fun. Nor is losing a life or starting a level over due to cumbersome, unresponsive platforming controls. Fans of early platformers may find the stiff controls nostalgic, but I just found them irritating.
Average
Wonderful adventure that has a bit of the same spark as its predecessor, Cave Story. With a hard as balls NG+ I havent beaten yet and plenty of choice in weapons, its hard not to enjoy this game a few times over.
I was initially thrown off by how quaint and small in scope this was compared to Cave Story, but was fully engaged by the end and even more invested when I realised the extra modes are whole remixes of the game packed with new stuff, secrets and a goofy plot continuation. Oooh and that jacket is so fucking swanky!!
Pixel never misses, it really is that simple
