    This indy retro platformer-shooter is brutal and the mechanics solid & tight.
    Perfect way to bring such a 2D platformer genre back into the scene I love it

    A great game, the atmosphere of 8 bit is amazing, if you are a fan of atari games then you have to play it.

    This game is good with a few hiccups. 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. There are some funny moments in the game too where you have interactions with your boss. The game may have lives but it's somewhat forgiving where you get to keep your weaponsThis game is good with a few hiccups. 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. There are some funny moments in the game too where you have interactions with your boss. The game may have lives but it's somewhat forgiving where you get to keep your weapons and power ups kind of like a rouge lite. The only problem with the game is sometimes the jumps are hard to make in hard mode and when you shoot your weapon, when you move back, you can't turn around.… Expand

    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.
