Orbital X

For anyone stumbling across this game, here's an up to date state on what it is. The game itself is very fun. A good time-killer. Unfortunately, the steam version here is unplayable and crashes upon start. It's been like this for a while. I like the game, but to save others' time, don't download it or try to play it here. It's not worth it.

Awesome game, very challenging, and it supports over 60fps! The only issue I can see is: there is no option to quit out of the game, at least on windows 10. If I want to quit out of it I have to quit from the taskbar. Maybe add an "exit game" button in the menu screen?

deliciously well priced runner and devilishly difficult.

really digging it in 5-10 minutes spurts.

the visuals are basic and repetitive but that helps you recognize patterns to get the rhythm.

music is also incredible

This game has all the elements to be a good Super Hexagon-like, but it's missing a proper execution.

The problem is the game just isn't fun enough to stick with. The game's soundtrack, while decent, quickly gets on your nerves as the only apparent track restarts every time you die. You die in one hit (unless you have one of the upgraded planets), which takes you from being engaged in a song to no audio at all.

Other gripes:

• Occasional stutters for 1-2 seconds
  
• The triangle track and the two-lane traffic cone track are functionally identical gameplay
  
• The track always "resets" after every section, there's no coherence.
  
• The track and the song have very little in common, you can put just about any song in it's place and get the same gameplay.
  
• The first and second thirds of the song are basically identical, and already incredibly repetitive to begin with.
  
[*]The UI is incredibly clunky with a hard to read font and no sound effects.

This game is so simple, but it's so dope. I just cant stop playing it. It's super fun and yeah, you basically just zone out (in?) and guide a marble (your planet) around a track.. Buy this game. It's worth every penny.

Orbital X is an arcade style game, great for if you have a few minutes of spare time, but also great if, like me, you are highly competitive and want to play for hours straight then still suck at it. However, for the cheap price I would recommend anyone gives it a go.

Pros:
-The majority features are very well polished (Did not experience any bugs)
-Never feels impossible
-Warps between sections and music feel smooth and satisfying
-Leaderboard

Cons:
-Colour scheme can be obnoxious at first
-Not a fan of the life system used for Neptune and Earth
-More extra sound features such as a death sound or life lost sound would be appreciated

Really fun, amazing game. Even fun for groups of friends, trying to get to the top of the leaderboard. Completely recommend.

A simple but fun twist on endless runners. It's a good game to relax and unwind with.

Nothing super complex gameplay wise, but what it has, it does well.

The core gameplay of dodging rhythmic obsticles is augmented by the clarity of having the obsticles color coded based on how they should be dodged (different colors for different colored rings, center spikes are darker, etc). This allows for situations where the correct course of action would be normally obscured to still be apparent, so if a mistake is made, it's the player's fault, not a fault of the game or systems.

Pros:
• A pretty decent soundtrack
• Loop through several game modes in a single run seamlessly
• Bright, clean visuals
• Challenging but never unfair difficulty

Cons:
• Limited gameplay (although it's $3, so it is what you pay for)
• Unclear menu controls
• Occasionally painful color choices

Overall, if you're looking for a cheap challenging rhythm game, you could do much worse than this.

A cheap and fun game that looks great (I ended up dying an embrassing amount of times due to looking at the level twising and turing in the distance). The gameplay is simple and very easy to pick up but is still challenging. Thankfully with every death it is clear what killed you and what you should have done instead.

Pros: Good soundtrack, cheap, looks great, easy to pick up. a short but effective tutorial

Neutral: It is hard and can get frustrating.

Cons: Sometimes the visuals can make it hard to focus on the track.

In conclusion it is a great game for the price.
