unlabelledView post →I've just made another video on another game from Joymasher, called "Blazing Chrome". Check it out on GOG and Steam for PC. #BlazingChrome #LinuxGaming #Joymasher youtu.be/ZxCAW4po6bU
unlabelledView post →Blazing Chrome (down to $4.24), a 16-bit Contra homage from Brazilian retro studio Joymasher, and still their best game imo—I think they over-exaggerated the graininess of the "MD-style" visuals, but that might just be a me thing https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/blazing-chrome-switch/
unlabelledView post →23. Blazing Chrome by @joymasher.bsky.social and @thearcadecrew.bsky.social. Finally took the time to play this with my brother. Great co-op shooter with a good implementation of alternative weapons. Not sure how it would be as a single-player game, though, because it was a challenge with 2!

unlabelledView post →And while Cannon Dancer is proper old, I would also recommend something like Blazing Chrome, which is a somewhat-recent indie game, perfectly styled after Contra-era games. youtu.be/VgdWMqMKIZ8?...
unlabelledView post →Hey you!!! Come through TONIGHT, and we're going to play some Mega man.....Samurai crossover? Yeah, had this on the back burner and it's made from same people who made Blazing Chrome. Said game played very similar to Contra: Hard Corps.... and by that logic alone, I know this will be fun and hard.
unlabelledView post →Are those the explosions from Blazing Chrome? Well it looks like another dev who can't draw new sprites for every single game they make, unsubs and reported to the gamer police TAKE HIM AWAY I am 4 days in on my 2 week holiday break and I'm already losing my mind
unlabelledView post →Huntdown is a great game, especially for fans of silly 80s action movies. Never got around to trying Blazing Chrome - maybe now is the time!
unlabelledView post →Hey Blazing Chrome players... what is the native resolution for the game? I realize it's blown up to 1920x1080, but it seems like it's 4x scaled? Was it 480x270 originally? Maybe @daysdanilo.bsky.social can say for sure?
unlabelledView post →Blazing Chrome (Modern) Blazing Chrome is a Run 'n Gun I replayed this recently and loved it even more than before. Superb game feel, amazing presentation, smooth pacing, and a solid difficulty. Has good combination of reflexive gameplay and reward for learning level layouts. Perfect game length.
unlabelledView post →"It was a delightful experience to be thrown back into the old 16-bit days, with a game humble enough to imitate with excellence instead of innovate with mediocrity. And that’s a generalizable point." I reviewed "Blazing Chrome" on Nintendo Switch: thedeletedscenes.substack.com/p/blast-from...
unlabelledView post →@evan--lee.bsky.social Mentioned Contra yesterday and now I have a craving. Fired up Blazing Chrome on the ole PEECEE and let me tell ya… Great little Genesis era Contra tribute game right there

unlabelledView post →44. Blazing Chrome (PC) A Pretty fun Contra inspired game. I'd put it up there with the classic Contra titles from the NES and SNES era.
unlabelledView post →It's clearly designed with actual 16-bit difficulty, where beating an ostensibly sub-2-hour game is supposed to take multiple attempts. I found Blazing Chrome less frustrating though. Higher base difficulty, but you only restart the level instead of the whole game.
unlabelledView post →Blazing Chrome This game fucking rules. It fully understand why this type of game from that era rocks. Keeps things forgiving enough ease in. But challenging enough makes you to want to get good. 10/10
unlabelledView post →Just got done playin' some Blazing Chrome for a bit. Once again I didn't beat Level 1 yet. But I definitely like this Game. A Good Callback to Contra. #BlazingChrome #JoyMasher #RunAndGunGames #RunAndGun

unlabelledView post →Blazing Chrome, a retro-style video game I've been playing lately, is so faithful to the early 90s aesthetic that if you showed me this game with no context, I absolutely would guess it was just an old game I’d never heard of. I really like that. thedeletedscenes.substack.com/p/blast-from...
unlabelledView post →Game #9 beaten in 2025: Odallus The Dark Call Now I've beaten all of Joymasher games: Oniken, Odallus, Blazing Chrome, and Vengeful Guardian Moonrider.
unlabelledView post →I felt like replaying Blazing Chrome today and also though, hey maybe I should give the hard mode a try. The game certainly won't hold back here.
unlabelledView post →Don’t get so caught up in excitement that you forget your registration to #vote! Head to vote.gov and make sure you’re good to go. Then reward yourself with a game, like Blazing Chrome on Steam. It’s a video game about a woman and a robot on an action-packed mission to save humanity!
unlabelledView post →Looking for game covers is probably why I’m such a sucker for stylistic homages. Looking at you Shovel Knight, Blazing Chrome, Battle Princess Madelyn, Galaxy Champions TV, and a lot of other great games. Are any other developers doing games that could be considered covers? Let me know!
unlabelledView post →Next #BlazingChrome... Now, I'm no eighties-ologist, despite my best efforts, but I'd be prepared to say that this game is the kind of thing the word "rad" was invented for. It's rad. A Contra-style run and gun shooter with pixel art graphics and strong late-80s action movie aesthetic. It's mad and hard as balls. Will definitely spend a lot of time on this one. Probably on the first boss. Before giving up. https://store.steampowered.com/app/609110/Blazing_Chrome/ #Steam
