Praising "Flying Hero" ^_^

Post by zubiac »

After a 3hours session(which I had now) with "Flying hero"(for the Super Famicom...ok, I played it on Gamecube with Hori-pad and SNES-emu) I have to tell you that it became my most fav cute'em up(beating Pop'n Twinbee).

It's just awesome which ideas the devs put in(you are a flying egg and fight against flying monkeys,golems etc) and it makes really good use of SFC's techs(scaling etc).And the music is just so freaking great that I'm trying to make a wave file out of it so I can listen to it in my car.

Anyone else played and loved it?

A highly underrated and unknown gem in SFC shmup collection.
:D

Update: This one can get really tough too.

Yes, it's a fun, cute game. I love its atmosphere too. But your hitbox is a little too big, IIRC, isn't it?

Doesn't the large hitbox apply for almost every other SNES shmup as well?

Beating Pop'n Twinbee? This set expectations high, as I've yet to try the game.

well, Pop'n Twinbee IS amazing and it has plenty of things "Flying Hero" hasn't(2 player mode, better graphics) BUT i must take Flying Hero over Pop'n Twinbee because of some facts:
- Pop'n Twinbee is far too easy while Flying hero is a real toughy.
- I love bosses and Flying hero has like 2 dozens of them
- Flying Hero's humor is so freaky while Pop'n Twinbee is more cute than funny

don't get me wrong: I really love Pop'n Twinbee but IMO Flying hero is just a bit better(mostly because of the hardness)
...like "Pop'n Twinbee = 9,9/10" while "Flying Hero = 10/10"

MAJOR OFF-TOPIC (sorry about that but I just want to help)
@ CMoon and Dylan1CC:

I'm playing SNES and Gensis for months now on my gamecube.
it's pretty easy to set up:
You will need an "Action Replay"(any version is fine) and a SD-card adapter.
or simply a "Max Drive Pro"
but I recommend the combination between a normal "action Replay" and the SD-card adapter cause you can use any size of SD-cards(I have 2 1gb cards;each full with SNES and genesis roms).

After you got your hardware you will need some software and some patience(you have to feed your Action Replay with 29 codes....don't worry!Only once then it is saved):
- HERE you will get the programm which "updates" your SD-card (comes with a really good and understandable "READ ME" file which also includes the 29 action replay codes).
- Then you will need the SNES - and Genesis emus.
Note: Both emus come with a "read me" file which explain how to use them.

It's really not hard to get it working.
_______
Some facts about the emus:
The SNES emu is just a beta right now but it already supports:
Sound,60 Hz and DSP-chip(Mario Kart) emulation.
Things that don't work yet:
2 player mode and FX-chip games.

The genesis emu is almost perfect as it supports everything:
2 player mode, Sound, 60Hz, almost all games, gamegenie codes and and and...!
The only "problem" I encountered is that there's a little screen tearing in fast scrolling games.
___________
After that you not only will be able to play all the emus for gamecube(Snes,Genesis,etc) but also all the awesome homebrews(1:1 port of DOOM? Hell yeah!).
