A vertically scrolling arcade shoot-em-up set on the alien world of Jurica.
The briefing
Hybris is a classic vertically scrolling shoot-em-up set in 2461 A.D. An Earth colony has been lost on the desert-like alien planet Jurica, and the Hybris space station sends a scout ship to locate the colonists and bring them home.
Playing as either J.P. Maverick or K. Lovett, you pilot the scout ship through incoming waves of aliens, stationary gun turrets, and other surface installations. Power cubes can be shot to reveal ship upgrades that increase firepower and visually expand the craft into different configurations. A smart-bomb feature is also available for dangerous situations.
