Orbital is based on the online game “Gimme Friction Baby” but makes the gameplay much more exciting . This game plays exactly like a brick breaker game except that instead of destroying bricks, you must destroy orbs. Each orb has the number “3″ in it which indicates the number of times that the orb must be hit in order to be destroyed. After 3 hits, the orb explodes into a colorful barrage of star dust and you are awarded with 1 point.
However, the game does come with a twist. Each time you fire your weapon at one of the orbs, the projectile you launched becomes an orb itself that must be destroyed like the rest. The game also adds extra points if you get double or triple hits by destroying more than one orb at the same time.
The higher your score, the better, as you can enter yourself into the global high score lists. The high score lists also include two standings which are high score in a 24 hour period and all-time high score. You can also compare your score with your friends through the in-app FaceBook integration.
The great thing about Orbital, and these game types in general, is the game is seemingly endless. The only obstacle that you must watch out for is the “death line”. If your orb that you shoot touches this line, the game is over. You only get one life, so use it wisely! However it is this one life mechanic that I really do not like about the game. Then again, it is probably because I keep dieing. BTW Orbital delivers a great multiplayer experience in which the game orients itself between player turns so that the active player always views the gameplay area in the correct direction.
