0RBITALIS Critic Reviews

0rbitalis is a real class act, and one of the best puzzle games in recent memory. Minimalism is achieved without sacrificing sophistication, and for such a small game it has the potential for hours of engrossing gameplay.

0RBITALIS isn't for everyone. It's pretty challenging, requires patience and perseverance, and once you've made your move there's nothing left for you to do but watch the laws of physics take over. But if you're anything like me, you'll find all of that fascinating.

0rbitalis is a great success, providing plenty of fun alongside its wonderfully suited graphical style and pitch perfect sound design.

Even though it feels like a mobile game, it's very clever and deep. 0rbitalis is definitely the game you want to play when you don't have time for more demanding games.

The graphic art may not be what you’d hope for in a space oriented game, but the fluidity of game play and sheer engagement makes it easier to overlook any shortcomings.

Finding the right groove and reaching a hypnotic state, that's 0rbitalis at its best.

Ultimately, the boiled-down approach of 0rbitalis, both in interactivity and aesthetic, works out pretty well. While struggling through the same level for extended periods gets wearisome, the variety as more levels unlock means plenty of new things to try. Still, I’m not sure the bare visual and audio design are doing the title many favors.

0RBITALIS succeeds at being much more accessible and artistic than most games where scientific accuracy is a core aspect of the gameplay. Unfortunately, complexity and artistic ability usually aren’t those games’ weaknesses; the unforgiving and uncooperative nature of reality is.

Although it is heavily inspired in design of Angry Birds, Orbitalis is too unpredictable physics puzzle game to attract the broad masses of players. For orbital mechanics fans the game still offers a decent portion of fun.
