Orbit

Orbit is a local multiplayer space brawler for 2–4 players. You maneuver ships between planets at high speed, accounting for gravity as you fight with a spaceship arsenal and abilities such as shields and teleportation. There is no single-player or online mode.

Battles and progression

Fights are fast-paced, and you level up between them as the action intensifies. A tech tree offers many options and different paths, while spaceship upgrades let you customize your progression. You can also use Forge to set up battles by choosing victory conditions, the orbitals on the map and match length, or generate a random map.

Game modes

Orbit has nine modes, including these tournament and Mayhem modes:

• Destroy: Wreck 10 kills before your competitors to win.
• Annihilate: Be the last surviving ship.
• Conquer: Capture zones of extreme gravity to win, using the map and gravity to your advantage.
• Survive: Outlast your rivals and an onslaught of asteroids.
• Knifeparty: Use a space-warping katana to teleport over an enemy and split their ship in two.
• Tennis: Use huge shields to ricochet rockets, even at high speeds.
• Squash: Rockets bounce off the walls.
• Rocketfest: Rockets duplicate on impact.
• Homing: Rockets home in on both enemies and you.
