TUMIKI Fighters Takes Free PC Shmups Higher

drunken-sosage writes "ABA Games released a new freeware PC title a couple of days ago called TUMIKI Fighters. It's a horizontal shoot-em up that allows players to upgrade their ship by 'catching' destroyed enemy ships, resulting in your ship being a bigger target. However, that enemy ship's bullet pattern is added to your offensive arsenal. The author, Kenta Cho, is one of the crème of the crop auteurs of the crowded independent shmup genre - Slashdotters may already be familiar with ABA Games' other freeware PC shooters/utils such as BulletML, rRootage and Parsec47."

The source is included with many of the games and I have compiled at least two of them on my own to play on Linux.

The latest game is gonna be kinda weird though. I've never touched a D compiler... the source is there, nevertheless.
