[edit] Storyline
A crystal from outer space has embedded itself in the earth and started creating life. Soon another similar crystal crashed to earth and started to destroy what the first crystal had created and started to sap away its strength. Before being totally destroyed the crystal gave a lone hummingbird its power. It is up to this hummingbird to save the earth.
[edit] Gameplay
The game offers numberous powerups for the player's kolibri, each one follows different patterns. Some are spreadshots and others will home in on an enemy. This game also features a good number of puzzles which grow increasingly difficult with each level.
[edit] Trivia
- A hacker known as TascoDLX found a cheat code to access a debug menu after another another hacker, Tony Hedstrom, discovered its existence.[1] The debug menu allows the player to change weapons and skip levels.
- Penny Arcade had a small running joke about Kolibri, referring to it as "arguably the finest hummingbird based shooter available on the 32X" on multiple occasions.[2]
