Mastering the delicate balance of orbital mechanics in a sandbox
In short: Explore the physics of celestial motion in 0rbitalis, a gravity-based game where the goal is survival. Learn how to navigate complex gravitational systems without crashing into planets or drifting into the void.
Originally created as a Ludum Dare entry, 0rbitalis has evolved into a polished physics simulation. Players must launch objects into intricate gravitational fields, aiming to maintain stable orbits for as long as possible. The game presents a high-stakes environment where two specific conditions result in failure: colliding with a planet or escaping the system's gravity to infinity.
The title now features a level editor and workshop support, allowing for deeper exploration of orbital dynamics. It serves as a relaxing yet intellectually engaging way to visualize how gravity governs the movement of bodies in space.
