[edit] Description

Uridium is a famous shoot'em'up game where the player flies over surfaces of spaceships and has to try to shoot down defence towers and hostile spaceships. Unlike other games of this genre the aim of Uridium is not to fly through a level and at the end fight against a boss enemy. You rather try to destroy a fleet on a spaceship carrier and at the end of the level also the carrier itself. For this you have to destroy the whole fleet of the enemy, which is parking peacefully on the surface. Additionally you have to resist a wave of attackers and defence canons. If you destroyed the hostile fleet you have to fly to the right side of the carrier and land on a runway. Then you get your bonus and the ship explodes, while you take flight with your spaceship.

[edit] Design

For the eye Uridium offers some exciting views. Alone the ship of the player is an eye candy. The adversarial spaceships are realised very appealingly. But you should not expect too much. The game cannot keep up with other games of this genre as Katakis.With Uridium the priorities were located differently. The animation of the turning and spinning spaceship is a special eye candy. The wohle thing runs very fluently during the game.

[edit] Hints

On the spaceships there are several obstacles against which you quickly bang. Some aims, which you have to destroy, are positioned behind obstacles. Hence you have to fly back a few times to get at these aims. There are also canons which cannot be destroyed, but they send out drones which follow the player. Furthermore there are other things which can be destroyed. That's why the motto is: "shoot at anything which stands out from the background!"
