Sonic FA is another asian shmup, this one from the curtain fire school of design, with great pixelicious graphics and an absolutely brutal difficulty level. It’s otherwise pretty conventional in design – kill ships to get powerups to upgrade your shot power, blast everything in site whilst avoiding the bullet storm. Fun, if frustrating, and a worthy friday fun link. Since the homepage is in japanese, some clues – use your arrow keys to move, and the z and x keys to fire your guns and missiles. Here’s a direct download link as well. Oh, and windows only, sorry mac and linux folk.
