6 itemsAbout the Game
Kero Kero Cowboy is a brand new western themed platformer developed for the Game Boy Color! You play as Kero Kero, a frog on a journey to wrangle the wild west's most dangerous outlaws & bring peace to the untamed land. Face dastardly foes, perilous platforming challenges, and intense shootouts across deserts, mines, mountains, trains, forests, and beyond!
Kero Kero features an array of techniques and abilities to help him on his quest. He can eat enemies, spit them back out, or even brandish a giant revolver to dispatch far-off foes! But be aware, a 6-shooter only has room for 6 bullets, so use them wisely! He can also swim with ease, ride in a giant cowboy boot to stomp enemies, ride rails in a mine cart, and spit hot fire after eating a spicy jalapeño pepper. How to best utilize his abilities in each scenario is up to you, the player!
Features:
25 levels of rootin' tootin' retro platforming action!
5 intense & challenging boss fights!

In-game music player to jam out to the Kero Kero Cowboy original soundtrack!
Authentic retro handheld gaming experience! This game runs on a real Game boy Color!
