orbt xl - V3

Added a new planet “Plumbish”, which now also changes the look of the internal black hole. (also comes with an achievement, which I now know a lot of people don't like when you add achievements, so I will keep this in mind in the future)
Improved in-game and store translations for Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Finnish, French, Japanese, Polish and Korean thanks to community help
Spacebar can now be used in place of enter for navigating menus as well.
Put more checks in place to ensure misclicks/button presses in menus don’t get accepted and cause undesirable effects.
Added another check to ensure that buttons could not be resized accidentally by getting stuck in the on position.
When starting a round, the spin will now begin at the rotation opposite to the last round played. (unless you just opened the game) This will hopefully help alleviate anyone's room spinning after playing too long :)
Added the hidden ability to delete your best high score that is saved by pressing the “Delete” key and “Y” key at the same time when exiting the game and on the "Thanks" screen. (since with cloud save its a lot harder to clear your score if you for some reason need/want to). I will probably implement something better for this in the future.
Added another check to hopefully curb some of the fake scores before they’re posted in the leaderboards.
The blackhole enemy and change direction enemy now correctly activate the moment they hit the center blackhole, this should allow players better ability to anticipate and react to these enemies effects.

Thank you everyone for playing and sharing the game with your friends and family. If you are enjoying orbt xl, please make sure to leave a brief Steam Review and let others know to check it out. The Steam review system is incredibly important for helping others find my small games. I read all your comments whether I am able to respond or not, I am always observing and listening to your ideas :) Thanks for the support!

|||||||||| DEVELOPERS NOTE ||||||||||

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.

|||||||||| GAMEPLAY ||||||||||

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. Good Luck and have fun playing with gravity!

|||||||||| CONTROLS ||||||||||

Simply pressing the orbt button allows your planet to move away from the black hole, not pressing the button forces your planet to be sucked towards the black hole.
