ORBITAL Reviews

Awesome game, I didn't expected to find so many mechanics in such a little game. Great 10 hrs of pure joy.

This game doesnt seem like much but its amazing and simple its easy to learn the controls and the game itself when playing this i was immersed and really relaxed and for a dollar its worth it, its fun and addicting for such a simple game.

Really good slow soundtrack, also the simple graphics really helped. This would be one of my favorite games.

Nice game.... 1.casual 2.simple controls 3.relaxing 4.fun enough for a free game: D

Orbital, a small game to play in your spare time or when you feel bored. Oribital is a simplistic game with decent visuals and relaxing background music. The controls are very easy to handle, just your mouse buttons. The game is fun in the beginning, but then the downsides come in; 1) There is little to no challenge because its, in my opinion, fairly easy once you understand what you are supposed to do. So, after a while it starts to become boring. Although, a game can become boring, this game becomes borint way to early. I started losing my attention after 15 minutes of playing, once I understood the basics. 2) Another cause of the game becoming boring too early are the specials you can use. Some of them are almost completely useless, while others, especially the shield and the rockets, are way too powerful. You can make it a real challenge by not using the specials and see how for you can make it. 3) The last aspect that contributes to the game's dullness is the fact that there isn't a goal or objective to play for. OrbXL, a game alike, does give you achievements and points which you can use to unlock certain planets/stars. Orbital throws you in space without showing what you are supposed to do nor gives it any objectives. This makes the game kind of useless after understanding the basics, because why would you continue without any further goals expect bettering your previous score, which in this game can come close to infinity, if you really tryhard. Tips for the developer: 1) Add settings for the sound because it's too loud on startup 2) Make difficulties where maybe you can't use your specials as often, or have to collect them in them same way you can regenerate your planet/star. 3) Make achievements or give the player an objective to play for such as a new planet etc. However, I am still giving this game a thumbs up because I bought it for 40 cents and it is totally worth every cent. Nevertheless, this game could have been way better, and I am just a bit disappointed. If you like these types of games? Go check out OrbtXL, imo a better game for the same price during sales.

This is a very simple, easy to play game. There's not a whole lot to this game so I'll try to give the pros and cons here. Pros: 1) Great soundtrack and simple visuals. 2) Relaxing, casual gameplay that's not overly difficult. 3) Simple controls (Although kind of awkward). Cons: 1) No progression (All enemy types start being spawned from the beginning) and no increase in difficulty 2) Although some of the special abilities are cool, there doesn't seem to be a balance (One is practically useless, while others seem to help you too much). Overall, for only a dollar, it's a good game for just sitting back and spending a few minutes just relaxing. And trust me with that background music, you will definitely feel relaxed.

I have officially become the fourth person the review this game, and it's amazing. It focuses on a simple mechanic of controlling the direction of a moon around a planet to protect it from spacships and asteriods. One thing I wish this game had was a option to invert the right/left click for the directions, as it would be much better for me to play the game. It reminds me of Bit Blaster XL, and it's definitely worth getting for a dollar.

This game is quite good but it plays very differently depending on how the "enemies" spawn. Sometimes your planet is dead in seconds, and no skill can save you. Special abilities are vastly unequal. No progression and difficulty curve is also a problem. With some improvements, this one could be perfect.

The annoying music can't be stopped. The name in the taskbar is "New project". Feels like something done in one night in a basement.
