Excerpt from the Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe
NAME: Kolibri
AUTHOR/VENDOR: Sega
RELEASED: 1996
TYPE: Shooter
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: Deep inside the earth lies a crystal that contains the power of life. An evil twin crystal smashes into the earth, and its powers spreads
pestilence and death. The life crystal makes its way to the surface to find a creature to endow its power to so it can fight this evil - Kolibri, a hummingbird!
IMPRESSIONS: Features some fine art and intense action - who needs a
spaceship for 2D shooters?! It also has some unique gameplay elements, like eating nectar from flowers to get
power-ups, or finding out how to get out of a level rather than just lasting to the end. Each stage must be handled a slightly different way, and it takes a lot of trial and error to figure things out as well as quick reflexes. (Outpost Sega)
