About Orbital Survival

Orbital Survival is a unique 3D physics-based arcade shooter set on a miniature spherical planet. As a robotic defender stranded on a tiny moon, your task is to protect it against relentless waves of invading alien UFOs and slimy blobs. The battlefield is entirely self-contained, meaning you can run in any direction around the globe as the planet rotates beneath you.

What sets this game apart is its clever application of gravity and inertia. The projectiles you fire from your weapon do not simply fly off into space; they are bound by the planet's gravitational pull. This creates a high-stakes arena where missed shots will loop all the way around the sphere, turning into dangerous hazards that can hit you from behind if you stay in one place for too long.

Controls

To navigate the spherical terrain and defend your moon, use the following control scheme:

  • WASD / Arrow Keys: Run and navigate across the planet's surface.
  • Mouse Pointer: Aim your robot arm's weapon toward incoming targets.
  • Left Click: Fire projectiles at the invading forces.

Survival Tips

  • Watch for Loopbacks: Every bullet you fire that misses a UFO continues orbiting the planet. Be mindful of your trajectory and avoid running directly into your own returning shots.
  • Keep Moving: Standing still makes you an easy target for spawning enemies and orbiting projectiles. Maintain a steady rotation around the planet to stay out of danger.
  • Prioritize Targets: Eliminate fast-moving UFOs first before they crowd the atmosphere, then clean up the slower-moving threats on the ground.

Orbital Survival FAQ

Can your own bullets damage you in Orbital Survival?
Yes. Due to the planet's spherical gravity, any projectiles you fire will orbit the globe and can hit you from behind if they do not strike an enemy first.
How do you control your character?
Use the WASD keys or Arrow keys to run across the circular surface of the planet, aim with your mouse, and left-click to shoot.
What is the main objective of the game?
Your goal is to defend the tiny moon by shooting down waves of incoming UFOs and blobs, surviving for as long as possible while avoiding friendly fire.
