Mastering the invisible forces of orbital physics through play
In short: This video explores the mechanics of 0rbitalis, a physics puzzle game that challenges you to navigate complex trajectories. It demonstrates how understanding fundamental forces can turn a chaotic flight into a precise path.
Originally created for Ludum Dare 28, 0rbitalis tasks players with throwing objects through environments where various forces constantly modify their paths. The gameplay evolves from a simple endurance test—keeping objects in motion—to complex objectives involving specific flight paths and target hits.
The game serves as a practical sandbox for physics, offering enough rule variations to provide several hours of content. It is currently available via Steam's Early Access program.
