Oricium (Oric)

 by DefenceForce

Oricium is a fast, lateral scrolling shoot-em-up with a touch of puzzle game. Its difficulty curve is smooth, so it is easy to go through the first levels. However it quickly becomes challenging, so don't judge it just after playing 5 minutes.

Oricium started as an experiment to see if it was possible to produce a fast scrolling game, including details such as masked sprites, animations, pseudo-paralax scrolling, many simultaneous enemies, fast action, and many more.

Of course the first inspiration came from the well-known Andrew Braybrook’s game Uridium, but soon the gameplay departed from the original.
