Fairy Fire is a slightly wonky looking mix of ideas that gels together surprisingly well. There's a flicker of Flappy Bird, some retro charm, and an interesting risk-and-reward shooting mechanic too.
You control a wizard with a rocket pack who needs to get some fairies to the safety of a portal. There are a bunch of ghosts, floating eyeballs, spiky things, and some bees trying to stop you though.
You press a button to move up, and release it to move done. Hold the left or right button to move that way. You automatically blast out gouts of magical fire in the direction you're facing.
It's pretty tough, and there's a spark of arcade brutality running through everything that means you're going to die a lot. Still, if you're looking for a shooter with a twist, it's definitely worth some attention.
