Coming to iOS in May 2013, hinted for 3DS
Daisuke “Pixel” Amaya has new game coming out in a matter of months. That news alone is sure to give fans of the illustrious one-man development team a strong case of the vapors. His latest creation isGero Blaster,a run-and-gun action platformer created in the classic style. It even utilizes theold damsel in distress trope. The difference here is that the damsel inGero Blasteris a cat, and the her boyfriend is a gun-toting frog. It is impossible for me not to love that, and that’s without even mentioning the giant smoking purple cat sticking its butt in the air.
It’s likely thatGero Blasterwill have some ties toCave Story. There were a couple of very nice Gero/Frog people in that game as well, though they didn’t have the steely-eyed, all business look found on the protagonist of this new game. Regardless of how it may be connected to Pixlel’s most popular game,Gero Blasteris one to watch for iPhone owners.
On top of that,it looks like Nicalisis already planning to bring the game to the 3DS, as it did withCave Story,IkachanandGuxt. That would be my console of choice here. Low-res pixel art in 3D looks amazing, and having a traditional control pad and buttons wouldn’t hurt either.
