Toricky

Toricky is an old-school action-adventure game built around fast flight and physics. Exploring birds Toricky and Momo set out for a legendary palace where mysterious jewels called Crystar are enshrined. The palace is deserted, and Toricky must travel through its zones to discover what happened to its people.

Explore the palace

The Crystar Palace has immense, non-linear stages divided into areas, with dangerous traps and enemies. You use Toricky’s flying abilities to explore them, from a giant fortress surrounded by psychedelic mushrooms to heavenly waters filled with wacky piranha. The environments are interactive, and flight and physics shape how you move through them.

Fight and solve puzzles

Nasty pirates have overrun the region. Toricky has no weapons, but his super strength lets him use the world around him to attack—even a pebble can become a weapon. Puzzles also block the way, and you must use your wits and the environment to solve them.

Various bosses stand between Toricky and his goal, including a giant robot ten times his height. Watch each boss’s movements, find its weaknesses and strike; each requires a distinct strategy. Toricky may also encounter the princess whose mystical powers rule over the palace. Finding her can provide help on the journey.

Challenges and presentation

The game includes a No-Damage Challenge called Perfect Medal, as well as Time-Attack modes. Easy Mode lets you focus on exploration and puzzles. Its hand-drawn sprites depict the palace and its surroundings, while story dialogue is fully voiced in Japanese.

The soundtrack features musical arrangements by Hiroki Kikuta and Dale North, combining a fantasy sound with traditional Japanese instruments.
