Kero Blaster

quote [ it's like mega man but instead of having a robot dog you work for minimum wage ]

Coming back to this game, it deserves more recognition. Apart from being funny, sensible, etc. it's very much a nicely crafted miniature experience.

Created by Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya of Cave Story fame this packs 9 languages, chiptune music (with PxTone) and a second, equally long campaign in very lean 8.5MB.

You probably need to like jump'n'run games – it's very playable on many platforms including mobile. Link goes to wikipedia, quote is top Steam review.

I just bought it on Switch. It had better be good.

there are also 2 demos if you want to get a feeling for the gameplay. They complement the story.

I remember playing it way back when it came out. I redownloaded it on steam a few months ago when I saw that a version for Mac got released, but it runs like garbo

eh, a mac version of something running like crap is hardly a surprise- there's always the PC version

I just got my Switch version. It came with the game, a keychain, a sticker, a full color manual, an authenticity card, and a cd soundtrack.
I didn't know it would come with anything. It wasn't labeled as a collector's edition or anything.
