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.
