The game can be very frustrating at times, but that won’t keep you from coming back for another try.» 4/5 - Will Raskin (148apps.com) «Orbital has got fantastic graphics and unfussy features. Come to think of it, there are really no negative points about the game. Good going, Bitforge!» 5/5 - Yoyo (iphonefootprint.com) ----------------------------------------- GAMEPLAY You must shoot orbs into a grid with your cannon. The orb you fired will expand until it touches a wall or another orb. Each orb contains the number ‘3’, which decreases by one every time it is hit. After 3 hits they explode and you earn a point. The game could be endless… There is just one condition: a shot orb must not touch the death line above the cannon! If it does, the game is over. A simple concept to rack your brains and nerves. ----------------------------------------- FEATURES - Single & Two player mode - 3 game modes: Gravity, Pure & Supernova - Beautiful particle effects - All-time & 24 Hours online Leader board - Facebook connection: Compare with your friends on Facebook ----------------------------------------- ORBITAL is based on Gimme Friction Baby by Wouter Visser. ## Orbital Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple124/v4/2c/83/72/2c83724d-73c9-c3fe-1514-5e586e80939c/pr_source.png/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple124/v4/3e/6d/e9/3e6de9c9-8cc3-17c3-a33b-86796d379bdb/pr_source.png/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple124/v4/de/21/9a/de219a55-2571-46ef-04fa-f0dfabb6fc5c/pr_source.png/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple124/v4/6f/71/1b/6f711b85-988f-8767-5e27-78437d5d1d16/pr_source.png/640x960.png) ## Orbital Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 67 (85%) - 4 stars: 5 (6%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 2 (3%) - 1 stars: 5 (6%) ## Orbital Reviews in United States ### ***** "Great little distraction" I’ve been playing this game for 16 years — and in that time it’s been a perfect little device to get me out of my own head and find calm. (I do play in silent or very low volume) Unlike some of my original games on my first iPhone, this has remained a classic. Thank you -- randomspaces, 2025-03-22 ### ***** "Classic" I remember playing this game in the waiting room to pass the time while my son was being born. He’s 15 now and I’m still enjoying this challenging, yet simple, colorful game. -- brettish651, 2024-12-28 ### ***** "A keeper" I think I’ve had this game more than 13 years. It’s still great, I still play it. Thanks to the developers for keeping it going; it even runs on Macs now. I do miss the original music, though. -- c.gull, 2024-12-16 ### *---- "One star. Less than one." It has a setting to turn off sounds, so that’s good. However even with sounds turned off and music turned off, it still has a full volume blast of unwanted startup jargon. Hey devs? Having a no sounds setting means, (NO SOUNDS). I don’t want some startup theme song intro. One star. Less than one star. -- Laser zombie, 2023-09-20 ### ***** "Wishing for original music and sound" It just created the best “zone” for playing. -- HepCaribou, 2022-05-11 ### ***** "Love this game" Very much a casual game. Auto resumes when you close and reopen. The soundtrack is brilliant too! -- DL West, 2021-10-25 ### ****- "Classic but.." Glad the game was updated to play on newer phones but the physics are different and easier to die. Also - what happened to the leaderboards?! Disappointed. -- RM Imagery, 2021-06-02 ### ***** "Give me original sound fx" Love love love this game and have for years. One of my exes introduced me to it and I have since introduced it to all my exes and my now husband (not ex). Everyone loves/loved it. I just wish there was an original sound fx mode. The opening music was so peaceful! At least they kept the robot voice! -- LillyLillyLongLillyLegs, 2020-12-15 ### ***** "Fixed - thank you!" Thank you for the update to work with iOS 14. A top game that stands the test of time. Tons of replay value -- MiaPV, 2020-10-03 ### ***** "Still amazing!" I bought this game over a decade ago for $4.99 or maybe a little bit more or less. It is still on my phone all these years later and is still one of my favorite casual games. It completely boggles my mind that it is still getting updates to keep it running on the latest iOS! What a fantastic commitment from the developers! -- Jason.Lambert, 2020-09-25 [View all Orbital reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Orbital Discovered Keywords - orbital ## Apps Similar to Orbital - [Bardcard](https://apptail.io/app/bardcard-Ozjc/united-states) - [Six Match](https://apptail.io/app/six-match-KWzc/united-states) - [Flipon](https://apptail.io/app/flipon-XFod/united-states) - [quadline](https://apptail.io/app/quadline-Gfve/united-states) - [One More Bubble](https://apptail.io/app/one-more-bubble-Mxkf/united-states) - [neoDefense - Tower Defense](https://apptail.io/app/neodefense-tower-defense-Xjsf/united-states) - [Slitherlink Weekly](https://apptail.io/app/slitherlink-weekly-bnxg/united-states) - [Black Ink Crosswords](https://apptail.io/app/black-ink-crosswords-rZcp/united-states) - [Ballpins](https://apptail.io/app/ballpins-dzSq/united-states) - [Nokoma](https://apptail.io/app/nokoma-zkWt/united-states) ## Orbital Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/united-states) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/united-kingdom) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/germany) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/japan) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/canada) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/france) - [Russia](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/russia) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/belgium) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/netherlands) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/australia) - [Norway](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/norway) - [Sweden](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/sweden) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/argentina) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/taiwan) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/mexico) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/israel) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/switzerland) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/brazil) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/italy) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/czechia) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/vietnam) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/finland) - [Singapore](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/singapore) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/ireland) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/india) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/denmark) - [South Korea](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/south-korea) - [Poland](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/poland) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/chile) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/new-zealand) - [Türkiye](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/turkey) - [Armenia](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/armenia) - [Madagascar](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/madagascar) - [Kuwait](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/kuwait) - [Hong Kong SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/hong-kong) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/greece) - [Indonesia](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/indonesia) - [Thailand](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/thailand) - [Slovenia](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/slovenia) - [Austria](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/austria) - [Romania](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/romania) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/spain) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/south-africa) - [Azerbaijan](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/azerbaijan) - [Brunei](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/brunei) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/belarus) - [Dominican Republic](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/dominican-republic) - [Ecuador](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/ecuador) - [Egypt](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/egypt) - [Hungary](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/hungary) - [Iceland](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/iceland) - [Kazakhstan](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/kazakhstan) - [Lebanon](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/lebanon) - [Malta](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/malta) - [Nepal](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/nepal) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/peru) - [Portugal](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/portugal) - [Tunisia](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/tunisia) - [Luxembourg](https://apptail.io/app/orbital-plPc/luxembourg) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
