About the Game

Gameplay:

In ORBTRUDER, you control a small killer robot ball that ricochets off walls and enemies. Gameplay is divided into a series of locations, each ending in a boss fight. Each location is procedurally generated anew each game session and is divided into rooms. The rooms have doors that open only after all enemies in front of them have been defeated.

Orbtruder features mini-quests and special events that can grant the player upgrades for their robot. The robot can run, jump, hover, choose its attack direction, and fire. Each enemy has weak points, and depending on the damage to these weak points, the robot will change its behavior. If the player dies, the game restarts. All upgrades are lost, but any achievements unlocked remain.

Story:

A mysterious scientist living in a secret underground base creates a small killer robot ball (Orbtruder) and sends it to a mysterious corporation's Skyscraper on the seashore with orders to blow everything up!

But it's not that simple: beneath the seemingly respectable business lies a veritable evil empire: experimenting on people, developing cutting-edge weapons, and exploiting workers.

Will Orbtruder be able to fulfill its mission, or will it become another pile of junk, like its predecessors?

Key Features:

  • Unique ricochet attack mechanics. The attack is performed by aiming a shot or ricocheting it at an enemy. A correctly calculated trajectory allows you to destroy several targets at once using physics alone.

  • Diverse finishing animations. Most enemies have multiple weak points: their arms, legs, heads, etc. can be severed. This makes combat more varied and exciting.

  • A multitude of enemies, bosses, and upgrades. The game is planned to feature over 8 locations, over 30 enemies and bosses, and over 100 upgrades.
