Orbital Stand


The player controls an astronaut that can use turrets stuck in orbit around the earth with the objective of shooting down all waves of alien attacks. Turrets on the outer orbit can fire long range while turrets in the inner orbit fire a scatter shot in short range. The player has to jump between the two orbits evading alien fire to not die while trying to shoot them all down. Even just moving the mouse to aim will move the astronaut and help evade hits. The inner orbit is closer to the earth, protecting the player even more.

The result is simple game easy to pick up but with a high skill ceiling born from simple mechanics.
