About the Game

Stop Dr. Corvid's Elemental Chaos

Dr. Corvid, a mad scientist with a penchant for chaos, has unleashed his latest experiment — the Virballs, virus-like creatures that manipulate elemental forces. Now, entire planets are overrun with these mischievous entities, spreading fire, wind, and electrical havoc across the galaxy.

As ORB, an Object Removal Bot armed with rocket-powered claws, it’s up to you to track down these volatile creatures, harness their powers, and save the galaxy from Corvid’s creations before it’s too late.

Collect, Combine, and Conquer

Dive into this thrilling, action-packed platformer and stop the spread of Dr. Corvid’s chaos. Here’s what you’ll be doing in Virballs:

Capture and Combine

Grab Virballs with ORB’s grappler claws and fuse their elemental properties — Earth, Water, Fire, Electricity, Air, and Slime — into unique hybrid weapons. Experiment with more than 40 different combinations to unlock powerful new ways to battle enemies.

Fast-Paced Platformer

Run, jump, and blast through levels packed with enemies, traps, and environmental puzzles. With ORB’s trusty blasters, thrusters, and claws, you’ll conquer every obstacle in your way.

Purge the Infested Worlds

Six unique planets have been infested with Dr. Corvid’s Virballs. Each planet poses new threats and requires creative use of Virball powers to clear the infestation.

Save the Floobers

The adorable, peaceful Floobers are in danger - help the Floober King rescue his people and evacuate to their ship!

Epic Boss Battles

Challenge ultra-powerful Virball bosses to unlock new elemental Cores, expanding ORB’s arsenal and unlocking even more devastating weapon combinations.

A Growing Galactic Adventure

Begin your journey in Steam Early Access, with more planets and missions added over time. The full game, featuring all six planets, launches in early 2025!
