great
nearly perfect just a bit hard
Reviews for "Orbitrunner"
good work!
As a physicist, I enjoy this sort of nature's laws based game. Of course, it would be incredibly impossible to move around the sun like we do in this game, but at least it's partially physics based :).
It was a great puzzle, I think I got to about level 21 and quit on that with about 189 faults. Sometimes it was frustrating, but other times I had the twisted enjoyment of seeing (and hearing) planets blow up. (Also not physics based, since there is no sound in space, but I like it anyway.)
One thing that would be nice is, before the failure level screen popped up (maybe call it "retry" rather than continue, and "continue" for moving on in levels), if we could have a second to look at the paths that were taken--maybe click through for faster replay--but nonetheless something to see the carnage that ensued, for enjoyment of the scene and possible planning.
Another type of game might arise out of two suns fighting each other by throwing planets at each other--if two planets hit, instead of exploding perhaps they form up, with appropriate momentum conservation, and the goal is to hit the opposing sun. I don't know if the game would be feasible or fun, but just another application of gravity physics.
wow
this is a very inginuitive and fun new kind of game while it does have its flaws it shold be seen as thye first in a new wave of games and as uch it sould be applauded for incredible new style of game the game itself is very fun and is challenging without frustrating ( at least that was how it was for me.). the skip feature slightly ruins the keep trying till you suceed style of play , for some the game is too difficult and some levels are near impossible even with constant experimentation but with all its flaws it still retains a thoughful experimental style of play. it is unlike anything most of us have seen before and the score would be a 10/10 but i must take away a point for the flaws therefore i give you a 9/10
fun
it just goes to show you what a delicate balance our solar system is in. who says there isnt life out there other than us? =\
Nice Physics
I'm not sure if other people simply suck at this game but...I found it to be quite fun and had some interesting challenge. Certainly it wasn't easy and by the time I beat level 31 I had 88 faults but the game had decent graphics, an excellent physics engine, good sound effects, and some nice small humor as well.
All in all a well done, although not really innovative, pleasant experience.
