Become a spaceship pilot and defend orbit. Orbital Invaders is a Sci-Fi arcade action game where the skill to react the situation and predict attack of enemies determine the outcome of battles. Shoot them all. Unique enemies, asteroid, spaceships, mines, missiles, space worms and bosses. In this Shoot 'em up game you will fly around different planets, defend orbit, destroy asteroids, spaceships, bosses and other enemies. Winning for someone who won 't miss a single goal. Upgrade weapons, use bombs and booster in critical situations. Save the planet! Save the orbit! Fantastic and amazing spaceship simulator. New shoot 'em up game! The control is tied to two sticks (virtual gamepad): one controlling the movement of the spaceship, the other changing the direction of fire. There are three lives in reserve, weapons like laser or plasma, three atomic bombs and acceleration for emergency cases. Collect points and get extra life. There are multiple worlds to unlock, option to switch between a laser and plasma gun, using bombs and escape with high speed power up when needed. The gameplay feels right. It's natural and quite satisfying. Definitely a good choice for short sessions. Easy to pick up and play. Made for Super Stardust & Geometry Wars fans. https://twitter.com/shaggy_dwarf https://www.facebook.com/ShaggyDwarf/ https://vk.com/shaggydwarf
