Low Orbit

Low Orbit is a space themed shooter with a retro pixel art graphical style.
Category Price Seller Device
Games Free Harry Atkins iPhone, iPad, iPod

Protect the planet from devastating asteroids and pesky aliens. Survive for as long as possible in low orbit, watch out for collisions and alien laser fire whilst fighting the planet's gravitational pull.

Low Orbit features a simple control scheme best experienced on the iPad but is still playable on smaller devices. Tap and hold on the left side of the screen to rotate left, and on the right side of the screen to rotate right. Holding down on both sides will activate your ships thrusters. Hold either fire button on the sides of the display to shoot.

Asteroids will continuously break into smaller rocks. The smaller asteroids are harder to shoot and will make manoeuvring difficult, but are worth more points. Also the larger the asteroid, the more damage it will inflict on the planet.

Large asteroids will occasionally reveal power-ups, but some may hinder you. Use a missile barrage to randomly destroy large areas of targets.

The planets gravity will cause you to burn up in the atmosphere if you don't keep using your thrusters, but be careful as it's easy to accelerate out of control.

Thanks for playing!

Extremely challenging and fun

Good game, but... It was a little confusing how to control the spaceship at first. Overall, good game though.


Tough, but a good game

I saw this game on the Gamesalad arcade. Thought I’d toss a review to a fellow gamesalader… but to be honest I am amazed you managed to get a game salad game looking this good and running this smoothly. It’s really challenging to play, and feels a little bit like it was made with A, D, and spacebar in mind, but it’s a cool idea, and difficulty is just something to get used to, not something that detracts too much from the game. Good Work!


After playing

I spent quite a while playing (enough to be #3 globally awwwww yeah) and it is really fun. Some drops seem a little OP and a pause button would be nice, and also it does glitch a bit, but for the most part, great game.
