The Great Fumo Binning

The Great Fumo Binning

A silly joke that went a little too far

The story:

One of my friends on the Metroid discord really likes Touhou. Especially fumos. One day, we were memeing at each other, and I'll let two thousand  words' worth explain

That's where you're wrong!

Got too lazy for the mouse... Maybe later :P

And thus, this silly game was born! - Wellllll... Not really. I was looking to make a simple game to get my feet wet on the PC Engine, and this opportunity was too good to pass up :P

The game:

It really is just a Kaboom clone. Catch all the Fumos the weeb throws at you in your only line of defence against anime shoot'em up plushies: Three bins tailor-made for danmaku damsels! Move the bins with the D-pad, speed them up with I and II, and don't let any fumos escape The Great Fumo Binning!

Furthermore, the weeb tries to distract you with used copies of Metroid: Other M (It was made for a Metroid discord after all). Are you willing to take the risk to catch one and get 100 bonus points per binning?

Other features include:

• Full Backup RAM support for scores, including Tennokoe 2!
• Music AND Sound Effects, from a custom-made sound engine!
• Mind-boggling demoscene FX (Of course)
• Hours of arcade fun!

The credits:

This game wouldn't have been possible without those amazing individuals:

• King_Flowers for the funny coverart
• SuperJetSpade for the sweet PC Engine Touhou cover
• ZUN for making Touhou in the first place (Sorry for binning your characters :P)

And a special thanks to the Metroid Community Discord, where the joke originated! Check it out here: Metroid Community Discord

How to play:

This game is made for the PC Engine/Turbografx-16. You can either:

• Play it on an emulator: MESEN comes highly recommended, or Mednafen if you're a masochist
• Play it on real hardware! Get either an Everdrive from Krikzz, or load it onto a Turbo Blaster, available from Retrostage!

And that is all! It ain't much, but enjoy my first PC Engine homebrew/memegame.
