Tarkus Update Released

The free Tarkus update is now available! Explore eight new levels in the Tarkus Nursery, with two new skins and a host of miscellaneous updates. https://youtu.be/jvlZ8x8RHYM • Eight new levels. • Two new game mechanics: moving asteroids and core igniting. • Two new skins. • New music. • Refined high resolution fonts. • Levels now display the score required to earn stars. • Refined level backgrounds featuring more nebula clouds, stars and more vibrant colours. • One new steam emoticon. Thanks for supporting Orbit HD! I'd like to address a few things. Achievements There have been a lot of requests for achievements and I should probably explain why they're not in the game already. Orbit runs through the html5 compiler nw.js, only a few other games are currently compiled with this (Cosmochoria, The Next Penelope) so the support is pretty bad at the moment. The latest version of nw.js doesn't currently have steamworks support, though it is being added very soon. I could build with an older version but the current is far more stable, hopefully it won't be too long. Level Creator A level creator is something I'd absolutely love to do, and have considered in depth. I don't currently have the time to create as I'm working intensely on my other game The Slaughter, though I do intend to once I have some down time. Bugs Please don't hesitate to report any bugs to me, some users are having trouble launching the game, a problem that I still haven't found a permanent fix for. For those of you with this problem, I am happy to provide a non-steam version of the game which seems to work fine for those experiencing the bug. Thanks and I hope you enjoy playing! ːgilmaː

Orbit Blasts on to Steam - 15% Off

Orbit is Now Available on Steam, with a 15% off launch discount!* Orbit invites players to explore the cosmos as a comet, hurtling between planets to a backdrop of procedurally generated nebulae and star clusters. In creating Orbit, I set out to combine simple and organic gameplay with the sense of isolation and player insignificance provided by more hardcore games like Dark Souls. In the case of Orbit, it’s the insignificance of a tiny comet being thrown around by the gravity of gargantuan planets. It can be very hard at times, yet rewarding, and has a mythology which is told through collected items rather than cutscenes. Offer ends 25th March 2015 at 2PM Pacific Time*
