You can download the original game here:Gameplay
The player controls a flying aircraft made out of blocks, like everything else in the game. As the player destroys enemies, their deactivated forms fall off the screen to the unseen ground below; if the player touches them with the ship before they disappear from the screen, the corpses can affix themselves to the player's plane in the positions they were caught, providing bonus points and extra firepower. The extra parts, which reanimate and continue to fire their own unique weapons, can serve as shields against enemy projectiles—each part breaks into pieces and falls off upon hit, and all of the augmentations can be retracted into the original ship. There are a wide variety of different enemies, which provide varying patterns of fire and numbers of points.
Tumiki Fighters
Tumiki Fighters was first released in 2004. It is written in the D programming language, with graphics drawn with OpenGL. Unlike the rest of Kenta Cho's shooters, Tumiki Fighters has specific levels, non-random enemy placement, and a definite ending. The game was released as freeware.
The game's name is derived from the Japanese word tsumiki (積み木, tsumiki?), meaning "building blocks"; this word may also be romanized as tumiki.
Blast Works
On June 27, 2007, Majesco issued a press release announcing a Wii version of Tumiki Fighters, titled Blast Works: Build, Trade & Destroy.
Added to the game are a 2-player cooperative mode, ship and level editors, and a "Hangar," which allows players (while inside) to purchase various ship upgrades; the building itself can be defended from attackers, via the motion controls of the Wii Remote. WiiConnect24 elements will also feature in the game, including online leaderboards and the swapping of custom ships and levels among friends. A recent trailer revealed that the game disc will, in addition to Blast Works, also contain playable versions of rRootage, Gunroar, and Torus Trooper (other games made by Kenta Cho) as unlockables, in addition to the original Tumiki Fighters itself.
Developer Budcat Creations plans to release the game on May 2008.
