Flashgal is a side-scrolling beat ’em up and action platformer released for the Arcade in 1985 by Kyugo. You control a martial artist superheroine as she battles through various stages filled with enemies, relying on her punches and kicks to survive. The game frequently shifts its gameplay style, transitioning from on-foot brawling to high-speed shoot ’em up segments where she pilots a flying motorcycle or a helicopter.
How to Play
Your goal is to reach the end of each level while defeating enemies and avoiding hazards. The game uses a standard Arcade control scheme:
- Movement: Arrow keys
- Attack / Fire: Z or X
- Insert Coin: Shift
- Start: Enter
Tips
- Your basic attacks have very short range, so you must carefully time your strikes just as enemies enter your reach.
- During the vehicle stages, prioritize dodging incoming fire over destroying every enemy, as the screen can quickly fill with projectiles.
