Orbit HD

Ugh, I hate to give this one a bad review because it _seemed_ like such an interesting concept. To me however this is the kind of thing that seemed good on paper but turned out to be utterly boring in practice. It looks good enough, controls nice enough, but the gameplay simply isn't there. You sit around doing nothing, or you try and pass by close to planets which is like the peak of excitement here. Seemed to me like the physics were also pretty off and orbits didn't behave tehe way they should, but that could just be me. So anyway, 4/10 because it looks and feels nice, but is very boring in the end.

One for the budding NASA employee`s this. Orbit is a game that explores orbital mechanics and can be verrrry tricky to do well, and will keep you coming back for `just one more go`... Its relaxing music is a pleasant enough to listen to and control is well implemented, either by using a controller, (which the game itself recommends), or by using your mouse to direct your "thrust". The Thrust is finite because it consists of your own comets mass. Its kinda like sitting on a chair with castors and throwing pieces of your own body away from you in order to move yourself. When you run out of limbs (mass), you have no thrust left..(make sense?) so you have to use it judiciously. You ALSO have to take into account your diminishing mass, because as you get smaller, the thrust affects you more. Lastly you have to think ahead, so zooming out and planning your intended route helps a lot. The game will probably appeal more to astronomy geeks like myself, so be warned, unless you have an interest in physics, Newtons laws, and orbital mechanics, you may find it a little boring. Either way, its very cheap and can be fun and educational, so I`m giving it a thumbs up. Edit:- The only thing I didn`t really like was having all the stages locked until you satisfy each level, if you hit a level thats particularly tricky it can lock half the games content from you and that can be frustrating. The addition of a TRUE `free roam` mode would alleviate this. There IS a `drift` mode but its still locked into just the levels you`ve passed.

Tags: Casual - Flinger & Object Routes Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Orbit management game that punishes the player for interacting with the game. Play Rotastic instead for a more engaging derivative of this. Orbit is a game in which a number of planets are on a map. Your little moon gets thrust in the general orbit of the first planet, and through unity engine physics you loop around said celestial bodies until you reach a fixed quota. You can adjust the orbit orientation by... expending part of the mass of the moon, shedding some of it to change direction. The moon shrinks, which if not done very carefully, will guarantee that you will shrink out before you reach your quota. If you are very patient, zen and like the space theme and can mind the simplistic execution in audiovisuals the 40 or so tables in which you can practice your restrait and plan your routes will keep you busy for a while. Unfortunately, unless you have a real knack for it, there is a great deal of trial and error involved, it is easy to insufficiently correct an orbit in an attempt to be stingy, or alternatively it is easy to get frustrated and just burn through half a moon just to get a desired result when things do not seem to pan out correctly. Conclusion: If the physics and the space theme are all you care about and you have a powerful rig try Universe Sandbox for a much more comprehensive experience. Otherwise Rotastic allows you to latch unto things, adjust your distance to anchor points on the fly and hop from anchor to anchor at a gainly pace and even features some local play. Removing Orbit from library for declutter and to give better visibility to more deserving titles in my collection. https://store.steampowered.com/app/204580/Rotastic/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/230290/Universe_Sandbox/

Orbit HD is a primitive physics puzzle game where you guide a comet around a solar system. To make the game deliberately annoying, you can only turn in one direction, and interacting with the game at all reduces your mass, which can end the game. I'm not sure who this game is being aimed at, it's not fun as a game, yet it's not compelling or interesting as a physics simulator. Can't recommend.

Что можно сказать об этой игре? я ожидал что-то похожее на Solar 2, увы это не так. Все настолько просто и примитивно, управляя астероидом нужно кружить вокруг планеты...ДА это все что нужно делать в этой игре. У меня вопрос, господа разработчики вы понимаете что эта игра даже на мобильном телефоне будет скучна, зачем выпускать мобильную игру на ПК? What can I say about this game? I expected something similar to Solar 2, alas it is not. Everything is so simple and primitive, controlling an asteroid you need to circle the planet ... YES, that's all you need to do in this game. I have a question, dear devs, you understand that this game will be boring even on a mobile phone, why you release a mobile game on a PC?

[h1] Orbit HD [/h1] Вроде мне выпала скидочка на эту игру, и я решил преобрести её. И не зря, карточки очень дорогие. Игра не очень замысловата, типичная аркада. Мы управляем метеоритом, который должен делать круги вокруг планеты пока не сгорит. В целом он сам летит из за силы притяжения, но все же он может вылететь. Управлять очень просто-зажал мышкой то место куда нужно полететь и он будет изменять свой курс. Весь смысл в том, что когда поворачиваешь метеорит сгорает по немногу. А на уровнях нужно пролететь как можно дольше и получить максимальное количество очков. Ну задумка хорошая и выполнено достойно. 9 из 10

Meh. Could have been okay if it didn't reduce your mass when you adjust your orbit. That just makes the orbital mechanics unwieldy.

Orbit HD is a fun little game in which you have to orbit (well who would've thought that?) planets to score points until your shell breaks. Obviously you fail if you hit a planet. Not a game I would spend a lot of time with but for 1 Euro you get what you paid for.
