Orbital Attack! is a  shooting game settled in a very serious place: the outer space!

BEFORE READING MORE:

There is an in-game tutorial, no need to read it here. Below is still a brief summary of controls just in case. PLEASE play the tutorial first, you will not know what to do if you skip it .The tutorial directly skips to the normal game once you finish it.

It takes an average of 12 minutes to finish the game with tutorial, in case you need this information.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A planet that has been freed from its orbital prison is now set to destroy the very evil MEGA SUN that is about to collapse into a very serious black hole. Collect asteroids, charge an attack, and shoot them as projectiles towards your foes, all while dodging and dashing through enemy attacks. Complete all stages and defeat the big boss to win!

CONTROLS (In case you forget them)

• W/A/S/D : Move
• Grab asteroids and stars that spawn on the map by colliding with them. You can hold up to 5 of them, and they will orbit around you. If you try to hold more, you'll heal.
• Satellites can tank some hits for you, and you may break smaller asteroids if they collide with any of your orbiting satellites.
• Left Click: Hold to charge an attack if you have at least one satellite. Once the indicator lights up, release to shoot a small weak projectile. You will aim towards your mouse. Your projectile is negligible,  but it will push strongly any satellite from your orbits that makes contact with. Use them as projectiles and shoot multiple of them. If you hit more than one per shot, they will gain bonus damage and speed!
• Right Click: Dash quickly into the direction you are MOVING, not looking. You are invincible during a dash. It has a long cooldown.
• If you shoot a star into a sun... well, things will become seriously explosive, avoid staying in the red radius if that happens!
• Escape will pause/unpause the game.
• F11 sets the game in fullscreen.
• If you wish to know your time, you can enable it before starting. It will still be shown upon game over or when finishing the game.
