Orbit HD

A wonderful game for anyone interested in orbital mechanics. A simple concept yet so challenging. Great to pass the time. If you know what a three-body problem is, then you'll love this game. Similar to: Kerbal Space Program and Osmos Edit: A builder mode would be nice. Looking forward to seeing new features in future updates. Keep up the great work, dev!

You're a coment, you orbit planets etc. Basically you change the velocity and direction of your comet, each time you do, you lose shell. When your shell is gone you can't change your direction or velocity. You complete orbits around the planets X number of times to complete the level. You also can unlock skills to make the comet go faster, last longer, etc. Not terrible for an indie game.

[h1]Good low pressure gaming[/h1] I was looking for a game to play after a hard day of gaming and I think I found it in Orbit. Sometimes I'm not looking to build a space ship or castle, fight zombies or blow the crap out of everything. In Orbit, you influence a comet orbiting around planets, but in doing so, the comets shell is slowly lost to space. Lose all of your shell and you lose you influence and gravity completely takes over. As you progress and gain 'Stars' you can increase the comets speed or the strength of its shell. It's not without it's difficult levels and I'm not sure how much replayability there is (it seems replayability is not a word), but I'll likely only play through it once. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeAVHdbta4M&list=UUMc9vxo5NN-yMIkAecJ87Bg Overall I think Orbit offers good, low pressure gaming for a reasonable price and the casual gamer will probably enjoy it.

A relaxing indie game with soft ambient music. Play it while queuing for another game or to simply chill out and have some fun

In this game you play a comet, sacrificing your own mass to propel yourself forward, a similar mechanic to Osmos. The unique twist comes here with the element of orbital mechanics. Meeting the bare minimum requirement to pass the levels just requires a few stable orbits - getting higher scores, ratings and stars to unlock stat improvements and new avatars requires you to really think about three body mechanics and is addictive as all hell. The author is also clearly engaged with the community, and I expect this one to keep improving as a result. I reccomend this one wholeheartedly.

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay. After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like. Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends. Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together. Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that. Thank you.

Orbit HD is an odd little game. As far as I can make out, you have to conduct the arc of a comet to circle planets as many times as you can before the comet burns up. Somewhat picturesque, but not very exciting. It seems like it could be a nice little game for some people, but I just found it a bit too boring.

This is a good game for the price ($0.99 as I write this). Completing levels successfully requires you to stay on your toes, and "taking your time" (for example, waiting a few orbits for your periapsis to be in the best position to transfer to another celestial body) will cause you to miss out on bonus multipliers, because the game rewards hopping to different bodies every orbit. As a result, the game is a bit hectic and not relaxing at all. If you’re looking for a bit of a challenge from an unforgiving arcade game, [b]Orbit HD[/b] is a dollar well spent.

Nice game & somewhat a new idea Gameplay is easy & then gets harder each level you passed.. No glitches, easy controls. 8/10
