About the Game

ORBITREL is a dark new twist on a beloved arcade action classic. Control paddles, flippers, and special abilities as you master focus, finesse, and foresight to unlock five distinct and challenging levels. Beat them all to complete the journey.

Will Earth survive? Ponder the theories and ramifications of the global debate that erupts after a mysterious interstellar transmission arrives. Ideas fly back-and-forth exploring the risks and origins of what might be Earth's biggest threat...or opportunity.

  • Smack Attack! Time your smack perfectly to dominate your opponent.

  • Forcewave: Charge the ball to destroy defense satellites.

  • Flippers, the newest technology in goal protection!

  • Capture balls then launch them, but practice accuracy.

  • Use discipline and patience to endure travel to the Oort cloud.

  • Collect a dozen Steam Achievements, then pin them to your chest.

  • Lose yourself in an original atmospheric soundtrack.

  • Support a lone independent developer locked in a hot dark room.
