About the Game

You are the Orb - a glowing entity lost in the depths of an endless underwater labyrinth.

Pulse your sonar to reveal what hides in the dark. Every ping illuminates fragments scattered through the level. Collect three and the map lights up. Mines drift in the corridors. Fans push deadly currents through the dark. Every step could be your last.

  • Sonar System - your only tool for navigating the darkness. Each pulse reveals a snapshot of your surroundings.

  • Fragment Hunting - three fragments hidden somewhere in the level. Find them to reveal the map. Simple goal, treacherous path.

  • Roguelite Progression - unlock skills in the shop. Each run builds toward mastery. Death is not the end - it is the teacher.

  • Escalating Danger - the more fragments and Gems you collect, the longer the levels and the more hostile the deep becomes. Water mines. Spinning fans. Creatures that track your sonar signal.

  • Dark, atmospheric pixel art aesthetic

  • Procedurally generated levels

  • Full controller support

Dive deep enough and you become something the abyss fears.
