‘orbt xl’ now available on Steam

orbt xl is now available on Steam for PC, Mac, Linux. Stay in orbit while avoiding obstacles or being sucked into a black hole. Survive as long as you can while dodging and weaving between the various obstacles, the closer you orbit to the center; the faster you achieve points. The longer you last, the harder it gets. The simple one button controls either increases or decreases your orbit as you press it or don’t. This is an 'XL' version of my mobile game 'orbt'. I have added/changed a variety of things to make it more suitable for the Steam platform. I have been learning to make games in my free time and love making small-yet-solid arcade games with simple mechanics. Please expect 'orbt xl' to be a small, re-playable, arcade score-chaser game where the only basic goals are to constantly beat your previous score and unlock a variety of cosmetic skins. Thanks to the immense success of my first Steam game Bit Blaster XL I have been able to spend a lot more time lately learning more about game development and intend to release more bite sized arcade games like this as I also start to develop bigger and better projects. I really appreciate all the feedback and support the community has given me and I hope to see some of that same support for orbt xl and my future projects. Thank you to everyone for the support and I really hope that you have some fun with orbt xl. Please, if you do, make sure to leave a brief review on Steam and share with family and friends, it makes a HUGE difference in getting the game out there and having people give it a shot. Thanks for the support! Adam Nickerson Follow Nickervision Studios on Steam http://store.steampowered.com/app/615610 http://store.steampowered.com/app/433950

    This is an 'XL' version of my mobile game 'orbt'. I have added/changed a variety of things to make it more suitable for the Steam platform. I have been learning to make games in my free time and love making small yet solid arcade games with simple mechanics. So please expect 'orbt xl' to be a small, re-playable score chaser game where the only basic goal is to constantly beat your previous score. I greatly appreciate feedback and will do my best to ensure support and love suggestions. Please contact me through Twitter, My Website, or the forums if you encounter something wrong with the game, something dishonest about the store page, or just want to say hello.

    Thank you for taking a moment to read this; I really hope you enjoy playing my game.

Good Luck and have fun playing with gravity!
