Ichor

Casting my mind back to days at school, circa 2007, I came across a Website advertising free games. Ichor was one such game. With its vivid graphics, mimicking visualisers from Windows Media player, I was instantly curious. What I had stumbled across, blew my mind in terms of what a game could be. Utilising basic fluid dynamics, Ichor places you in a void, amongst a jet of colour. Several seconds afterwards, your first enemy appears; spreading its own, equally vivid jets, often creating a violent clash of colour. As you progress in score, you are challenged with more and more complex enemies, each with their own behaviour, and their own mechanics of colour spray. This game has progressed several strides from the one which I played in my earlier years. A health bar, powerups and new effects, as well as important optimization for newer systems. I completely love this game, and even years later I can find fun in revisiting it.

14 years ago I found this game for free on the now desolate "Fun-Motion" physics games site. I loved it and played it all the time. I had it on my downloaded on my PC until it bit the dust like 6 years ago and thought I would never see this game again. Well my friends, the Holy Grail has been found! Ichor lives!

I played this game when it was featured on Fun-Motion.com back in something like 2007 and have been searching for it ever since. I finally found it here. It's better than I remembered! The old software version still archived is rough, and the GPU version is lost to time. Cool to see it here for a buck.

I saw a reddit post asking people about things that they can't find on the internet, things that are lost and this came to mind, I searched for this game for years! I was about to post about this game and then I thought I'd search for it again, it's been about a year since I last looked and wow, It's finally here on steam! Me and my buddies used to take turns on this game over a decade ago! I still have it installed on a second computer (I could never get it to run on my newer computers), it's so addictive! It seems to have changed a little from my old file but the fluid manipulation is still as intuitive as ever. This is a truly one of a kind game and perfect for taking turns and you'll all be on the edge of your seat shouting at your friends about flow and energy and momentum....thanks so much for uploading this, I don't ever know where I got it all those years ago but we'd all sit around playing it all night listening to music, great times.
