Been waiting for this one for ages. Spoke to the guy behind it at quite a few retro shows - Rob Hewson. His dad was the guy behind Hewson Consultants (Andrew Hewson) in the 80s who released the classic Uridium and this is like the iOS homage to it Instant purchase Edit - plays really well. Controls are great. Graphics really good. A nice horizontal shooter where you have to go right then back to your left Well worth picking up
Super delighted to see this homage to the C64 classic on iOS (and to read about the familial connection to the original Uridium!) Well done guys a super effort! Couple small requests for any planned updates if I might be so bold?... - Can you add the autohide preference in Xcode so the iPhoneX bottom edge navbar is hidden during play? - Option to hide the visible Ui - No stick overlay, and no button for tap to fire. Would be even more pristine without. Functions the same but tap anywhere on right half to fire. Swipe to Turbo boost? - In Settings I can't seem to change Graphics from 'standard' or choose the options in Store once unlocked? Im probably holding it wrong. Wishing you great success! Can't wait to see what other classics might be incoming! Wayne Revolutionary Concepts
back in the days i've played Uridium, Paradroid, Nebulus and Cybernoid on my C64 for months, hugely loved them, especially Paradroid... wow Hewson, how many memories. i'm really glad to see Andy Hewson (& son), one of the best "bedroom devs" of that golden age, back in action... congrats guys, i'm going to get it now!!!
I’ll be picking this beauty up. Did someone mention Paradroid - surprised we’ve never had a remake of it. What a game that also was.
there was a good unofficial port of Paradroid many years ago on iOS called Droidz and a semi-official one by Elite Systems. https://toucharcade.com/2009/03/08/droidz-the-c64-classic-paradroid-comes-to-the-iphone/ https://toucharcade.com/2011/11/15/elite-releases-paradroid-denaris-alternate-reality-the-dungeon/ unfortunately both are gone.
Finally out on iOS! I had the pleasure of composing the music for this AND Starseed: Origin that TA mention on the news page article. Suffice to say...Uridium was an absolute fave of mine when growing up. Hopefully we'll get a review If anyone wants to treat their ears to the SID chip inspired music, the full soundtrack can be heard here
Instabuy! Been waiting for this one a loooong time. Can’t wait to play a sequel (of sorts) to Uridium!
Is it possible to add another [touch] control scheme? "Controls" under options is only informative and not actually functional/customizable. I find it too hard controlling the ship, especially the "flip" (change direction) movement which I trigger by accident most of the time due to slight horizontal movement of the finger to either side when all I'm trying to do is move the ship up or down. A dedicated button or adjusting how sensitive it is would be very helpful for this. Overall the game is cool but I have actually avoided it due to the aforementioned movement difficulty which doesn't let me enjoy it and rather makes playtime kinda punishing.
Removed from the store Love this modern throwback Too bad its gone I still own it for Xbox though It plays and looks really good on iOS
Ahhhh shame. I see the dev (Rob Hewson) a lot at retro shows. His dad was the man behind Hewson Consultants, a great 80s 8 bit developer. I’ll contact him to see if it’s coming back
Update. The dev isn’t sure what’s happened so he’ll look into it. He’s very busy at the mo but will take a look very soon. So sounds like it should be back for sure
