About ORBITAL

✦ AI summary

ORBITAL is a 2D space sim where you explore a forgotten solar system, settle planets, and build a thriving civilization by keeping your people happy through careful decision-making. Pilot your rocket to gather resources, manage incidents that shape your worlds' destinies, and uncover secrets across the stars—all at your own relaxed pace with no timers, combat, or failure states.

ORBITAL is a 2D space sim where you are the sole pioneer tasked with a hopeful mission: to explore a forgotten solar system and build a thriving interstellar civilization. It’s a game about discovery, decision-making, and watching worlds flourish under your guidance—all at your own relaxed pace.

Lead Your People

Each planet you settle is a new story waiting to be told. Your primary goal is to grow your total population, but growth is tied directly to Happiness. When your people are happy, your civilization thrives. When they aren’t, you’ll need to intervene.The heart of the game lies in the text-based Incidents—a mechanic our early playtesters fell in love with. From resource shortages to cultural festivals to strange stellar phenomena, you will constantly be asked to make decisions. Your choices are not just flavor; they have a direct impact on the happiness of your people and the destiny of your planets.

Explore and Expand

Your journey is one of endless discovery.
  • Harvest Resources: Pilot your rocket to collect valuable Tech from asteroid fields.
  • Build Your Future: Spend Tech on a hierarchy of Planet Upgrades to boost happiness, automate production, and unlock new possibilities.
  • Uncover Secrets: Discover hidden Shipwrecks and complete multi-stage Expeditions to find rare resources and uncover the lore of the solar system. Are you really alone?
  • Upgrade Your Ride: Invest in your rocket to improve its capabilities or repair it after a tough expedition.

A Journey, Not a Race

I wanted to create a game that felt like a cozy blanket, not a frantic rush. In ORBITAL, there is:
  • No timer to stress you out.
  • No combat to interrupt your flow.
  • No way to lose.
It’s just you, your ship, and a galaxy of potential. Whether you have 15 minutes or 3 hours, you can make meaningful progress, explore at your leisure, and build something you’re proud of.So, are you ready to launch? The galaxy is waiting.

✦ AI summary

ORBITAL is a charming, relaxing space exploration game with beautiful aesthetics, engaging planet-landing mechanics, and delightful microstories that players love to discover. The main complaint is that it's quite short, with most players finishing in just 1-2 hours, making it feel like poor value at full price despite the enjoyable experience. Players suggest waiting for a sale or price reduction before purchasing.

It's a very enjoyable and well-made game about space exploration and expansion. I really like the planet-landing mechanics. The colony development system and the various events and incidents on different planets are also big highlights.

I really enjoyed this game. I got a review copy and played it for 2 hours without realizing the time passed. I was having fun just flying around destroying the asteroids and exploring the different POIs. It's a simple, relaxing exploration game and that was exactly what I was hoping for. I would definitely recommend this game for those that want a chill experience, the music was amazing and the planet sound effects made me giggle. Great job Dev, I will be playing this again.

It is a fun game, however for 10 bucks it doesn't match the time. Was expecting something that I could get at least 10hours out of. not 1.5 an be done. too short of a game.

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.
