Orbital

Orbital is an infinite survival challenge set as a supermassive black hole devours the solar system. You are a Planetary Pilot serving the Interstellar Defence Network (IDN), linked through a neural connection to a planet reshaped into a fortress world. Your mission is to delay extinction long enough for humanity’s last colonies to escape to the distant stars. Survival is temporary: the goal is to endure for as long as you can, because every moment you buy gives more people time to escape.

Pilot fortress worlds

Each planet has three technologies that define its identity and style of play. They may focus on control, survival, mobility, environmental manipulation or defence. You synchronise with the world you pilot and use its planetary technologies to face collapsing asteroid fields, unstable gravity zones and waves of cosmic debris.

Survive the escalation

The battlefield grows more violent and unpredictable as the black hole’s pull increases. Threats react to that growing force, while relentless asteroid storms and cosmic debris test your reflexes and timing. The IDN records each mission and ranks you by how long you survive. There are no victories, but every new endurance record marks a breakthrough.

Unlock more planets

Each mission rewards you with Quanta, rare energy harvested from the edge of destruction. The IDN uses Quanta to awaken and energise dormant planets, adding new tools, strategies and challenges. As you progress, more of the solar system becomes available, expanding your options for the fight against time.
