✦ AI summary
Players praise the game's fun physics mechanics and realistic orbital simulation concept, comparing it favorably to Universe Sandbox. However, common complaints center on the poor PC port quality, including missing exit buttons, awkward interface design, and technical issues like levels failing to load, leading many to recommend getting the free mobile version instead or skipping it entirely.
Bought this game after I watched a Youtuber recommend it. Boy was I wrong about this game. First off, do yourself a favor. If you find this review unconvincing and still want to try the game out, go get the same app from the Google Play Store. Not only will you save a few bucks, but you'll also get to not see what happens when indie devs get greedy. [h1]This game is an Android app (free on the Play Store), ported for PC.[/h1] I have nothing against PC ports. For example, 'This War of Mine' was a great game that existed both, on mobile and PC, but here's what Orbit did differently that makes this game hard to recommend : [olist] [*] It's a poor port. If you're playing on PC, there's no exit button, and the interface is weird to use. That is because there is absolutely no difference betweeen the Android version and this PC version, which sucks because those are two different platforms with different interface and design in mind. The dev most likely used his game engine/editor and just clicked a button to export to a different platform and called it a day. [*] The Android app is free but the Steam game is not. I'd much rather pay for the version the game was intended for, b…8 found this helpful
Really fun and pretty realistic, basically a simpler version of universe sandbox
Give Me Lots Of Singleplayer Sickness!!
I found this game in my backlog of games not player for years. It pretty much deserves to stay there. The concept is good but the gameplay apears to be some port of a half assed mobile game. 2/10
it's fun phyics game
Bought the game and the levels were alright but there was no exit button so I had to leave using task manager, second time I booted up the game none of the levels loaded (Not even the title screen). Make it work and I'll play it
