    Kero Blaster is a 2d platformer that is charming and beautiful with control issues. The double jump has a very strange timing with respect to how you tap the buttons, which becomes problematic during boss battles as tapping incorrectly while managing several assaults often ends in instant death. Moreover, you cannot shoot and turn. To turn and shoot, you must turn, then shoot. Again, notKero Blaster is a 2d platformer that is charming and beautiful with control issues.

Moreover, you cannot shoot and turn. To turn and shoot, you must turn, then shoot. Again, not a big deal unless you are in a boss battle. Boss battles are inevitable so this becomes problematic within 30-40 minutes of the game. Would love an update to improve the double jump at the very least, adding height to the jump as well would easily makes this an 8.5/9 out of 10 instead of a 6, maybe 7.… Expand

    Very simplistic game with clunky-feeling controls and lackluster bosses that cheese you more than test your skills.

    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.

    It does a wonderful job of capturing the feel of classic NES shooters while bringing them into the modern day with upgradeable weapons and health boosters. Throw in a handful of modes that encourage replay, a stellar cast, brilliant production values, and a killer soundtrack, and Kero Blaster is a modern classic. It could stand to be longer, but this is a game that will keep players hooked. Go give it a download!

    Kero Blaster is a retro platformer-shooter that has also managed to embrace contemporary mechanics. Resulting in a challenging but fair experience that provides just enough variation to be engaging during its appropriate length.
