A master class in game design – Kero Blaster Review

A fairly linear run and gun platformer, perfectly executed. The weapon variety, the enemy types and the level design all work together beautifully for a game that is a joy from beginning to end. The difficulty level is perfect as well. If it gets too hard, you are naturally gaining more gold with each attempt, that you can use to buy better weapons and more health. I am surprised I haven't seen the control scheme copied by anyone yet, as it is brilliant. Your frog auto fires in one direction, but you can swipe on the fire control button to start shooting in a different direction. If you've played Cave Story, how much was it worth to you? $20? $40? And how much did you pay? $0? Part of a humble bundle? Chances are you still owe Pixel at least another $10 or so.
