TUMIKI Fighters Takes Free PC Shmups Higher

Posted by simoniker on from the superfly-guy dept.

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."

    Ever installed the D compiler? Me either. From what I can tell, support is somewhat minimal for it. In the time D has been around, C# has gone from concept to deployment to the world at large.

    Because, believe it or not, some people really don't give a damn about Linux, don't use Linux, and don't care about Linux users. The code apparently compiles under Linux, so I'm going to give it a shot. If it doesn't, it's off to my Windows box. :D

    With a little trial-and-error, you can give yourself some pretty badass weaponry manipulating the .xml files in the /barrage/ folder.

    (I would also suggest editing the /tukimi/myship/ship.tmk so the baddies don't get your super guns too. :)
