Kero Kero Cowboy: The BEST Indie Platformer on GBC! 🐸
100I'm absolutely thrilled to show you Kero Kero Cowboy – a new indie action platformer for the Nintendo Game Boy Color that surprised me! The big question is: could this be the BEST indie platformer currently "hopping" on GBC?

Join me as we "jump" into this delightful Wild West adventure starring a charming frog sheriff. We'll explore its super-responsive gameplay mechanics – from tongue-lassoing varmints to strategically using your trusty six-shooter – which clearly draw inspiration from beloved classics like Kirby's Dreamland, Alex Kidd, and even a hint of Mega Man Xtreme. We'll also admire its impressive pixel art and animation that truly push the Game Boy Color, its fantastic and fitting chiptune soundtrack, and the creative level design across five distinct stages.
Developed by the mega-talented MetagameMike, Kero Kero Cowboy offers a wonderfully balanced challenge with satisfying collectibles and inventive power-ups (the Super Mario 3-esque cowboy boot is a hoot!). This game genuinely "had me hopping with excitement from the get-go!" Find out why I consider this an "un-frog-gettable" gem that perfectly blends modern indie sensibilities with classic retro charm.
