Developer Tool Leftovers

This is a sub-page of Kero Blaster.

To do:
Everything. Comment on the flags list, make comparisons with unittype.png and the final game, and unscramble the mojambake (the gibberish symbols that are supposed to be Japanese) back into Shift-JiS. Also, there's an ENTIRE later assets folder found on the Switch version.

In the files of the original 1.0.6.3 release of Kero Blaster there is a folder named "assist", which seems to be the folder Pixel used in conjunction with his level editor.

Unit Type List#

There are two files, unittype.txt and unittype.png, that together comprise the list of objects. In the level editor, the image file would have displayed a sprite depending on the NPC, and the text file would have stated the object's name. Interestingly, the object graphics are from many different points of development, ranging from enemies cut after the development reset to enemies from the final game midway through their design process. Sometimes the graphic doesn't even represent the enemy that shows up in-game. Pixel must've realized that it was inefficient to change an image file every time you added an enemy, nevermind changed an enemy's graphics, so as a consequence we have a time capsule from various points in the game's history.

NPC ID	unittype.txt	Translation/Meaning	Equivalent Image in Final Game	Notes
#000			N/A	Blank space.
#001	Empty		N/A	...Another blank space?
#002	Trush Box	Misspelling of "trash box"	(insert image here)	Example
#003	Event (p2: 0=stop 1=mv-h 2=mv-v 3=mv-H 4=mv-V 10=mem block)		N/A	Example
#004	Anchor	The camera follows this object, hence the name.	Example	Example

#010	Block Generator	Example	Example	Example
#011	Kurobo-	Example	(image here)	Example
#012	Snow Trunk	The "trunk" in its label may have to do with its similar behavior to the other "Trunk" object. Both are platforms that float in water.	(image here?)	Example
#013	Cat & Frog Step	"Step" refers to how the object is flat.	(image here)	The thumbnail here is probably not representative of how it appeared in the game. The roughness of the sprite implies that it was made just to show roughly what it would look like.
#014	Gearshift	Definition of gearshift: a device used to engage or disengage gears in a transmission or similar mechanism.	(image here?)	This object's label implies that the teleportation machines have gears in their mechanisms.
#015	Timer Kun		(image here?)	This object is scattered, invisible, throughout levels with seemingly no discernible purpose.
#016	Kajiya	Example	Example	Example
#017	Endless Ice	Example	Example	Example
#018	MiniSpiral	Example	Example	Example
