Kero Blaster, A New Game by Pixel

The one thing I didn't like as much was that the graphics lacked the detail and finesse his earlier games had.

He's clearly going for a certain aesthetic with the art style. I mean if Pixel felt that the game wasn't looking how he wanted then I'd imagine that he wouldn't stop until he was satisfied.

 

Well, yeah, I guess he does want to try something new.

 

According to "The Indie Megabooth" (which has a connection to Playism showing Kero Blaster at PAX East):

"In Kero Blaster, developed by Cave Story creator Studio Pixel, you play as a frog employed by the tiny C&F corporation, a small venture that manufactures teleporters. Strange black creatures have started taking teleporters offline, and your feline boss wants you to clean up the mess.

Strap on your handy blaster, and go to work!"

It seems that the story has changed from the alien kidnapping of Kaeru's feline lover, to that of saving a business, which is reasonably believable as it fits well with the new trailer.

 

The music in the trailer has a cave story flare, Can't wait to play his new game!

Figured I'd update the thread title to reflect the new name.

I think the word you are looking for is "flair".

 

Free Prologue, get it now

Oh, yay! It's too bad I don't have a Playism account or a computer to play it on. It'd be nice if someone else could try it and tell us what they think. :3

 

it took me a while to get used to the controls because unlike cave story, holding the jump button slows you down when you are descending also and this is vital to making some jumps

it was good tho, but short. I got both endings. I wonder what kind of creature the boss is. Maybe some kind of dog?

reolaris if you have a gmail account you can log into playism

 

Pixel you evil bastard.

SPOILER ALERT

Spoiler

YOU LOSE THE PAPER AS SOON AS YOU GET HURT AND CAN'T GET IT BACK WITHOUT RESTARTING

 

If Pixel/Playism released the prologue on iOS I would definitely get that as well, because I'm a lot more interested to find out how Pixel implemented the controls for a touchscreeen rather than how he did it for a keyboard/gamepad.

 

I MODIFIED SOME SCRIPTS TO GET THINGS I SHOULDN'T HAVE

v Pictures v

Spoiler

I've only figured out how to make the Jetpack, Jacket and Bubbler work. None of the other weapons are being added correctly...not implemented???

also

 

So I downloaded PinkHour and as soon as I started, this error message showed up.

 

well then install direct x, duh

 

Even when I already had the latest version of DirectX installed, the error came for me. But downloading the DLL file itself and putting it in the game's folder works.

How exactly did you maage to do that?

 

But downloading the DLL file itself and putting it in the game's folder works.

It also carries a significant amount of risk. Said dll could contain trojans. It is much better to grab the file from a program that is known for including it, just FYI.

 

shhh, no tears now

 

Aww, Frog is sleepy. I think. :3

I might hatch an evil scheme in order to play this demo soon...

 

CAVE FROG 2: RETURN OF THE RED CRYSTAL

 

Cave Frog has 8 letters, Pixel has 5. If you subtract Pixel from Cave Frog you get 3 letters.
