Finally, a gravity game that's about achieving _real_ orbits, not bouncing off weird billiard tables in space, with lasers & crazed robots.
Simple, fun, educational. I like!
Reviews for "0RBITALIS"
awesome!!!
i feckin love all this space shit
Love this game! I would love to see the maths behind this though!
5/5 nice simple yet complex game.

The Maths is actually surprisingly easy. I am just using Newton's laws. Orbitalises are attracted to planets with G*planet_mass/distance^2. :p That's it: all the rest is a "just" consequence! :D
I had a rare thing happen to me... I'm not sure if it was good or bad ;-; I shot it, and the thing SOMEHOW WENT IN TO 100% PERFECT ORBIT... IT KEPT GOING IN THE EXACT SAME CIRCLE FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS... The only reason it stopped was because I actually had to restart the whole game... I have never felt so lucky, and yet so pissed in my whole life..
AlanZucconi responds:
Hahhaha! :-) I designed some levels using masses and distances of real solar systems. Those levels are incredibly stable... *_* ...I bet your orbit could have lasted for...ever!? :p
Anyway, the full version of 0RBITALIS allows you to share images and scores of your best orbits on Facebook! :p Have a look at it if you want! :-p
