About

In orBIT your goal is to survive as long as possible. To survive, you need to: - Keep your fuel above zero - Avoid getting hit by an asteroid

To get more fuel, harvest the yellow asteroids.

To get more ammo, harvest the white asteroids.

If you let an asteroid go past you it will come back later, which can quickly add up.

Controls

  • Arrow keys/joystick -> Move
  • Left mouse -> Shoot

All sounds/graphics/code except for the laser sound done by me. I was originally doing Compo but after spending the entirety of day 2 creating that weird music track I had to push it to a Jam :)

Pretty cool game, I like the transition between the Title Screen and the Game.
Graphics are really cool ! But it's too bad that we can't direct the aim.

Visual and music go well together. In my opinion, unusual mechanics. It was a little difficult to navigate with a sight. For the atmosphere of 10 arcade machines out of 10!

Love the transitions! Although the aiming mechanics were a bit hard to get used to. Really great overall!
