Fire Arrow Plus
A downloadable game for Windows
Also available on Steam.
Fire Arrow and Fire Arrow X are time attack (or 'Caravan', what used to be an important tradition in Japanese STGs in 90s) style shooters with a heavy emphasis on scoring, also known as "coffee break shmups"
Fire Arrow (Remastered):
• Enemy waves and various other elements are randomized. Unpredictable special events may even trigger on subsequent plays.
• Difficulty ramps up rather quickly and the better you do, the harder it will get.
• Collect as many medals as you can, as you progress further into the game, they will become more valuable and plentiful.
• Novice, 3 Minute, 5 Minute modes provide varying levels of challenge as well as a potentially greater variety of enemies and bosses to encounter. There is also a special unlockable mode that provides the greatest challenge.
• Freely switch between a wide spread shot (Red) and a narrow vulcan shot (Blue) to better adapt to the situation. Unlock the bonus ship for even greater firepower!
• Along with screen-clearing bombs, you also have a powerful DUAL ATTACK.
NEW to 2017 version:
• New endings!
• More convenient menus.
• Completely rebalanced gameplay.
• Bonus round is now accessible by normal play on a certain mode.
• All new original soundtrack.
• Native gamepad support.
Fire Arrow X :
• This semi-sequel or semi-remake depending on how you look at it expands upon the basic gameplay of Fire Arrow while also changing up some of the rules.
• All the same modes and explosive action... now with more enemies, crazier bosses and even greater challenges!
• An unlockable Endless mode

Versions 2_7_17 (both games) add toggles for enemy bullet animations and an option to darken the background - hopefully aiding visibility issues.
(thanks to Mommy'sBestGames for the suggestion/feedback)
Yeah it isn't, just didn't have any extra music to go there. -_-
I'm super indecisive about that kinda thing anyways. Like, should it be punchy and grab your attention immediately or be quiet/calm while the player peruses various options? (That sort of thing.)
Probably not; but the game I'm making next (a 'remake' of XYX, which was never finished) has a decent variety of ships to choose from - one of the new additions I'm planning is unique bomb types for each.
New content for FAX isn't out the question, though... I just need some distance from it first. Glad you enjoy it, btw. :)
Fire Arrow v2_2_17 now correctly saves key rebinds and also fixes an issue with the bind menu.
