Orbita

Suprising little physicals automation puzzle game, very fun.

I really liked this game. I hadn’t played this type of game before, so it felt even more experimental. I really enjoyed organizing and collecting the materials I found before progressing, to make the missions more structured. I also really enjoyed building farms that run continuously.

A very good game for chilling and practicing being a god

I'm really enjoying Orbita, I can't wait to discover a new element or resource

Just imagine shapez 2, but with these differences: [list] [*]Instead of a huge map you have a small area [*]Instead of conveyor belts you have "wind" that pushes stuff in a general direction [*]Instead of infinite resources you have a tedious grind to accumulate even the basic one [/list] In a vacuum this game would get an easy thumbs up, because automation and pushing around floaty orbs is indeed fun - but the game doesn't exist in a vacuum, so it has to compare to alternatives. But I haven't given up on it since it is Early Access, and cheating is comparatively easy, given the easy to read/edit json save file. A few suggestions to the dev: [list] [*]Make blue orbs scale faster, like, way faster. Even with the green ones it is a slog to get anything noteworthy going. [*]Add upgrades to increase level of manually spawned orbs. Having to click 64 times (+dragging for merging) to create a single water orb becomes old quickly. [*]Add upgrades to allow spawning different elements. (Although these can be expensive to maintain balance) [*]Don't only show the grid, but make stuff snap to it - what's the point of it otherwise? [*]Explain moving/copying/blueprinting somewhere. Given you are guiding players through the controls, you set up the expectation that you actually explain all of the important ones; Had I not looked into the settings, I wouldn't have known there is copy&paste and blueprints in the game. [*]Same with moving around selections, not directly clear one can actually move around a bunch of nodes at once. [/list]
