Orbitalis by acerunox

[raw]
made by acerunox for LD31 (COMPO)
Yea! I made it! It's the first time I made it for Compo, not Jam. I actually didn't have much time this weekend, so I made a really small, but hard game, because small game > no game. :)

I hope you'll like it! Don't forget to post how much you survived!

CONTROLS:
A/D to change directions.
W/S to ascend/descent.

Isn't Orbitalis already the name of a Ludum Dare game? One that came out on Steam, even?

Well, it looks like you're right. I really didn't have much time at the end and this was the first idea that came to my mind. I really wanted to submit it for Compo.

Nice simple graphics. I wouldn't worry much about the name. It's fine ;)

Simple and nice, but especially really hard!

I am happily surprised! It's simple and hard, but every element is polished! Great music, art and little things like end game screen.

An entertaining, hard-as-nails game that trolls you when you lose. Punishing but fun. My only complaint is the "3D" effect (I'm not sure if it's meant to be viewed with 3D glasses or not, but it's hard on the eyes) - it would be nice to have the option to turn it off. Otherwise, great work!

Challenging and fun game in the spirit of Super Hexagon! I really like it!
Some ideas to improve your game quality : try to display "seconds survived" on game over screen, and keep the music running.
Good work!

Would be nice to be able to have up/down to up arrow and down arrow. So it is not just all one hand.

This is awesome! extremely difficult, but awesome! Everything fits together nicely, the music and the visuals really mesh well, you have a consistent theme throughout, and on one screen no less! Neat.

Great clone of Flappy Bird, I can imagine it as a simple browser game. With sharing online scores onto Facebook, it could be really good "social game".

The concept is interesting. But for my personal taste the game is a bit too challenging right away which takes away a bit of the fun. I rarely managed to survive longer than 10 seconds. Perhaps it would be nice to slowly increase the speed / difficulty.
The 3d effect as mentioned by someone else is a bit painful for the eyes.

That said, I really did like the concept. Good job!

For some reason I like these rhythm games but suck at them. The concept is interesting, very hard. Adding a little learning curve wuold make it a lot more fun.

This is my favourite type of game, one where it's incredibly hard to do well, but incredibly easy to try over and over again. Bravo, sir. This is a very good game.

Maybe a bit easier next time though?

I loved the "HAHAHA" game over screen most, I think. Very pretty, but I also echo the comments on allowing arrow + wasd so youre not controlling up/down and left/right with only one hand, and also continuing the music even at a game over screen - you'll start over a lot, so its kind of disruptive just to have the music start, stop, start, stop... all in all though it was fun, funny, and pretty!
