    Kero Blaster proves that going back to a genre’s roots can be a refreshing experience. While marred by a sense of strict linearity and some barren background elements, it’s a treat for those that want a solid run-and-gun title.

Like cave story, I like the upgrade system. The game reminds me of contra but with it's own cave story like charm. However this game can get hard, especially in hard mode.
