Game Review (written by Chrissi) Added on: 12/16/2007
Uridium is a science fiction shooting game where you will be taking part in fifteen different levels. Each of the levels have been named after one of the metal elements, such as Zinc and of course Uridium. Uridium is actually a fictional element, but is not suppose to resemble the metal element iridium.
During the game you will be traveling around fifteen planets in a galactic sector. Each have been draining their resources from their planets core to power the interstellar units. You will be transported in your Space Fighter to each of the planets attempting to destroy all the Dreadnoughts.
You will be required to take attack onto the defensive enemy fighters that have formed a screen, then neutralize the surface defenses to be able to land the Super Dreadnought’s runway. When you have got onboard you will then have to take out as many fuel rods from the metal converters before you take off.
You must destroy all of the Dreadnoughts defensive barrier before you will actually be able to land. You will have to slow your speed to a minimum landing speed to be able to land in the landing zone. Once you have done this the pilot will enter the mother ship and turn on the nuclear reactor so everything will self destruct. Your Space Fighter will then take off so you don’t

blow up along with everything else.
When it comes to the levels being created seven of the metallic elements are not actually real, they are fictional metals that seem pretty interesting. Each level will increase in difficulty making each one even more difficult then it started off. The further along in the games you get the more indestructible items will appear, which you must avoid.
The game allows you to travel either left to the right or right to the left, it usually depends on the direction of the planet you are wanting to reach, or what targets you are wanting to aim towards. This does allow the game to have a more playable aspect then the usual side scrolling approach of many games.
The graphical design has been done in a top view point with a side scrolling approach. The graphics are done with advanced arcade like format. There is additional animation that has been included into the movement of the game, which does allow Uridium to have a very smooth details.
Uridium has been designed to be a complicated, but thrilling game. There is a lot of enemy defense that you must look out for throughout your travels, making this game very exciting. Overall, Uridium has a great plot and graphical design that allows this game to have a great appeal to new and old gamers. If you enjoy shooting games with a little adventurous feel, then Uridium would be a perfect new experience for you. There is so much appeal to this game that you will not find yourself getting bored at any moment.

Classic side-scrolling space shooter. Came before all the R-Typeish games. You are on a mission, you must pilot your craft through some of the hardest levels ever created and shoot down all the enemy space craft and ground weapons.
