I have been working on this game for a good amount of hours now and finally completed it very early on Tuesday (8/15/2006) morning. I was planning on releasing it then, but due to 'Clock Day', I decided to hold off.

Anyways, Turanium is an arcade-style shooter. You control your spaceship with your mouse and destroy waves of enemies. Hold down 'left-click' to rapid-fire. Various powerups will drop from enemies, ranging from health refills, extra lives, upgraded weapons, and bonus points.

At the end of each level, you will be given a [possibly] large bonus score based on your level score, your level completion time, the level you are at, and the difficulty you are playing at.

There are 15 levels in total. If I get some good votes/reviews/feedback I will probably make a sequel with better graphics, more enemies, more weapons, and more levels with more diversity.

*Note: While the game starts off relatively easy, it does get hard in the end. I was able to beat the game on normal, but it took me a good amount of tries. If you are having trouble beating the game, and you really want to, try changing the settings to easy. If you are really skilled, try and beat it at hard or impossible. If you do... I want to hear about it!

**Note: I have tested this on three computers ranging from a 1.5 GHz laptop to a 1.8 GHz desktop. All of them were able to run it at the desired framerate. If there is a LOT of stuff happening on the screen, the game might slow down for a few seconds but will always speed back up when the 'smoke clears'. If you are having trouble getting the game to run smoothly, you can turn down visual quality and particle effects in the settings.
