URG by Utopos Games sets a new standard for retro-style shooter games. Gorgeous 3D-graphics and fast scrolling action at 60 fps offer hours of action-packed fun.

URG works perfectly in single-player mode, but it also supports couch co-op multiplayer mode for up to 4 players on the same computer!
URG is a result of three years of development by an industry veteran game developer Jani Penttinen. For Mr. Penttinen, URG is a return to his roots. URG is a remake of his very first game from almost 30 years ago. With URG, he was finally able to make it the way it was always supposed to be played!
During his 3 decades in the game industry, Mr. Penttinen has worked in lead game developer roles for such legendary game developers as Westwood Studios and Remedy Entertainment, but the time has come for him to return to being an independent game developer, to work on games he really wants to make.
The gameplay in URG is split into multiple distinct worlds, each with its own theme and special gameplay elements. The players earn coins when completing missions, and these coins can be used to purchase new weapons and ships.
URG supports all modern game controllers and in fact, has been written to be a console style game. The game supports a keyboard as well, but for the best experience, a game controller is recommended.
URG is a retro-style side-scrolling arcade shooter with beautiful 3D graphics and a ton of action with big explosions. URG can be played alone, or as a co-op with up to 4 players (there's always one main player and up to 3 sidekicks).
URG is short for Utopos Rocketship Game. URG is a remake of the first game I ever made, 27 years ago on Atari ST. The game back then was called Utopos.
In URG, you fly a rocket ship in an asteroid field, completing missions to collect items and solve puzzles, while shooting at enemies and blowing up asteroids. The game is divided into multiple themed worlds, each with multiple levels. As the game progresses, new worlds are unlocked and each world adds new gameplay elements.
When you play URG and connect more than one controller, other players can join any time by pressing the A-button in the controller. This will spawn a sidekick, which acts as an assistant to the main player. Sidekicks can't die. They have two functions: they can give fire support to the main player, and they can give hearts, which will restore health. All players share the screen, which scrolls with the main player. If a sidekick falls outside of the screen, they can respawn by pressing the A-button again.
