Finger Flashing is a puzzle-shooter hybrid presented with 2D sprites moving on vertically-scrolling 2D isometric levels. You play as a wizard girl or a bazooka-wielding boy and take on waves of enemies coming down on you with power shots based on rock, paper and scissors. Naturally I don't need to explain which one beats which. The rules of this basic children's game are applied here so you can chain shots and destroy whole groups of enemies at once while progressing through a handful of your typically-varied stages. Single-player campaigns are pretty fun and challenging, but the game really comes alive in two-player showdowns where you can mess with your opponent's performance to make it to the finish line before you do.

Though Finger Flashing requires no knowledge of Japanese to play, it has been fan translated. It is also available as a PSOne Import on PSN (in Japanese) as FLASHING-FINGER.
