6In Ordyne you take control of Dr Tomari as you fly through seven rounds with bosses at the end of each. You have a standard shot as well as an arching bomb shot and destroying enemy groups will leave behind crystals that can be collected. Crystals can be spent at shops for better weapons or at gambling pods for more lives or special weapons. It's a decent cute'em up with some interesting ideas but it is mostly forgettable. The weapons are visually appealing although they can only be used for a short time which is annoying. It also doesn't include auto-fire.
