Shooter / Vertical

Flying Hero is a cute, and sadly rare, vertical shooter by Sofel.
The player takes control of an egg shaped and winged character. He can fly in the air
and fires various projectiles at his enemies. The princess of the kingdom has been kidnaped
and our hero seems to be the only one capable of bringing her back and free all the visited
regions along his harrowing journey. Power-ups are often hidden inside balloons and the most important
items of all are certainly the delicious floating cherry shortcakes. Three cakes upgrade our
friend's active weapon and large-cakes can even boost-up his firepower to the maximum. Various
weapons are of course available, including a simple rapid-fire, power-beams or small
clouds. Interestingly, the fire direction can be controlled instantly with the controller's
shoulder buttons, and pressing both simultaneously fires right behind the character.
Also, tiny (and rather ugly) bug-like flying creatures can be collected and used as options
that flies close to our friend and attack anything in sight.
Finally our hero can also use a limited amount of bombs, flashing like giant sparkly
fireworks. Stages are long and varied and often hide several bosses.

The Super Famicom system doesn't count that many shooters and
finding games such as Flying Hero always makes you savor
delicious moments of pure pleasure. Graphics are excellent and the
game uses most of the Super Famicom's magic, including neat sprite
deformations and transparency effects. You should know that the game
becomes rapidly hard, really hard. Some stages even offer two to
three sub-bosses so make sure you hang on to it. A little known shooter
that is worth discovering, if you manage to find one,
Flying Hero is getting quite hard to find these days...
