About

0rbitalis lets you design and launch satellites into space while wrestling with physics and cosmic obstacles. Guide your craft past planets, stars, and comets without crashing or burning up. Each level throws new challenges like rival probes that hunt yours down or anti-gravity zones that twist your trajectory. Success means balancing fuel, speed, and angle to reach orbit, no hand-holding, just trial and error. The game’s retro pixel art contrasts with its sharp physics engine. Pulsars emit deadly radiation. Black holes warp paths. Community forums note its steep learning curve but praise the satisfaction of nailing a perfect launch. With 50+ levels and asymmetric multiplayer clashes, it leans into brainy problem solving over action. The 2014 release still holds up for players who enjoy methodical strategy over fast-paced thrills.

Storyline

These launches won’t be a spacewalk in the park, there’s all manner of stars, planets, comets, pulsars and more to navigate. Not to mention rival probes that will compete against you and even chase yours down. Oh, and did we mention those anti-gravity probes?
