Kero Blaster is a 2D side-scrolling action platformer game developed by Japanese indie developer Studio Pixel and published by Playism in 2014. Players take control of a frog working for the Cat & Frog agency who is sent on missions to eliminate strange creatures that are appearing across the land.
The gameplay of Kero Blaster focuses on run and gun platforming action that requires precise movement and aiming skills. Players can shoot enemies using a variety of upgradable weapons such as bubble guns, magnums, and ricocheting crossbows. A unique feature is the ability to combine two different weapon types to create hybrid weapons with new abilities.
Over the course of the campaign, players battle increasingly difficult enemies and bosses across industrial, wilderness, and office-themed stages. Power-ups like increased speed and jump height help improve mobility. The game features a grading system that evaluates the player's accuracy and completion time, encouraging replays to perfect stages.
With its cute pixel art style, humorous frog protagonist, and focus on moment-to-moment platforming action requiring pinpoint precision, Kero Blaster has drawn frequent comparisons to classic run and gun games like Metal Slug while establishing its own unique identity through creative mechanics like its weapon combination system.
