This little game has been on the phone for a few years now. Many, many work break rounds. Great relaxing game. Worth purchase price, something that I rarely write.

I love this app. I had this app back in the day when I had the iPhone 3 and this was only available for Apple, not android. I am so happy this is available on Android now. And paying $3 for the full version is totally worth it. Also if you have the galaxy note, this game works great with the s pen!

This hand is a must. But gravity mode is the one. You can loose your self in this game for ages. So much so, I would like to ask the creators on the next update please can you try and incorporate the time. A little digital clock somewhere would be great. If you have it as an option, then it's up to the user if they want to use there internet data. But apart from that. Love it. Keep up the good work. Thank you. Chris

What else can I say? I purchased Orbital a couple years ago just after getting my first smartphone, and it still holds up today. Bright, colorful, minimalist design. Elegantly simple game mechanics. No microtransactions or DLC. Love it.

The supernova mode is fun but the other modes are unsatisfying, which is disappointing when those are the ones you pay for in the full version. I'd keep playing if they built upon the concept for the supernova mode, but I'm bored of how it is.

- Keith Andrew (pocketgamer.co.uk)

GAMEPLAY
Shoot the colorful orbs onto a grid. As soon as the orb stops it will grow until it hits an obstacle (wall or another orb on the playing field). Now you have to shoot the orb several times with the following orbs until it’s destroyed. Every destroyed orb grants you one single point. You could collect endless points but there is one difficulty: The shot mustn’t hit the death line above the cannon. If it does, the game is over! How many points can you get?

ORBITAL is based on Gimme Friction Baby by Wouter Visser.
