Hi,

Orbit One is an one button game.

You, WHITE circle as player

Keep alive by avoiding RED obstacle.

Keep getting GREEN candy to score.

Can you make it to the TOP ???

The game is simple to play but not easy to master :wink:
I hope you enjoy as much as I enjoyed making it. :sunglasses:

Play now :point_down:

Awesome Design! Keeping the flow alive! I think the game is well balanced and feel good to play! Congrats :heart: !

Great idea. Simple but pretty tough. I could see this getting all sorts of good and addicting with the right sound and shiny bits. Great work.

This was fun to play, would be ideal on mobile with the one button controls. Got tough quite quickly once the targets started moving.

Bonus points for including the number of button pushes, for the frantic mashers hitting the button while the player ball is still in air.

Great game! It's a really cool idea and surprisingly challenging. I had trouble even when the target wasn't moving!

I like how clean the UI is, it has a really nice and modern aesthetic.

I also like how the game tracks the amount of times you've clicked - it really highlights how bad I am at the game xD

No real criticisms from me, it was a fun and relaxing game! Great work :)

It ’s a little difficult. I have a maximum of 17 points, but it ’s fun. I ca n’t stop.

quite an interesting mechanic for a hyper casual game, very playable and engaging, good job. Maybe would be interesting to do difficulty progression based on the side of the circles in the perimeter so at the beginning they are bigger and decrease over time. Fun to play.

awesome!!!!

this looks like it is almost polished enough to release it

Fun little game. I'm not good at it, but fun little game.

It is a good hyper casual game, it tests and trains precision, trigger discipline and reflexes : )

NoobException20 Apr 2020, 10:09

Great idea!
It takes some time to 'predict' when to shoot though :)

Good game with a modest difficulty curve, could easily see it work as a simple mobile timewaster. Not sure how it fits in with the theme though.

Really casual game with great effects. :thumbsup:

Simple, but enjoyable. Fun timing-based gameplay and satisfying sound effects and particles to polish it all up. Great!

Fun :smile:

An awesome implementation of a simple and very innovative concept.

I really enjoyed playing it. Because every UI element is a simple shape, I think a vectorized version of it would look even better (at the moment it looks a bit to blurry on my screen).

Overall a concept so simple but new (I never saw something like it), I think you should polish it a bit and sell it as a mobile game. Great job!

Good scores overall, except for theme. Who is "it" in this case? Yourself?

Cool entry. Nice little casual game with a clever gameplay. Clear aesthetic and smooth movements. Respectfully it could be better on mobile device. It reminds me an old game which I did a few years ago - Confetti (available on Itch.io) I had fun playing. Well done ++
