Definition. A "shoot 'em up", also known as a "shmup" or "STG" (the common Japanese abbreviation for "shooting games"), is a game in which the protagonist combats a large number of enemies by shooting at them while dodging their fire.
This is my playthrough the first two levels from "Freedom Finger." Freedom Finger is a music driven, side-scrolling shooter that sends you blasting and punching through 40 levels of bat$#!% crazy action. I must say for only $7.99 on Steam it's a very fun and funny shmup. Well worth the price if you like shoot 'em ups. #shmups #freedomfinger #playthrough
