- 0RBITALIS v 1.0 Released - 28 May 2015
http://i.imgur.com/fmPxuL6.gif A 14 trillion kilometres long journey. That's the distance light has been travelling since the first version of 0RBITALIS was released in December 2013. I'm very pleased to announce that the game is finally exiting Early Access. And it includes some very juicy new features... 100 levels, across twelve sectors. Early Access brings three new Sectors, each one with a unique gameplay mechanics. Teleportation. Yes, 0RBITALIS now features teleportation. Bullet time. One of the most requested feature. With the right click you can now slow down the time and aiming for that perfect shot. Enemies. Let's be honest: finding new life forms was always going to happen. The universe of 0RBITALIS is now full of other technologically advanced species, capable of launching their own satellites. Some of them, even more advanced then yours... PC and Mac. YES! The game is final…

- Alpha 7 Released - LEVEL EDITOR - 2 February 2015
http://i.imgur.com/7nPmBvx.gif The most requested feature EVER is finally here: the LEVEL EDITOR! After one year from the release of the game on Early Access, I thought it was about time to allow people to create their own content. I wanted to create a level editor in line with the minimalistic style of the game, yet powerful and easy to use. And I think the current one hits all of these three! :D The level editor allows to: Create celestial bodies. There are several types of celestial bodies you can create within the editor. They are all labelled as planets, even though their appearance and properties will changes according to their size. The editor currently supports asteroids, rock planets, gas giants and stars. And of course, their anti-gravity counterparts... Design orbital mechanics. 0RBITALIS is a game about gravity. And the editor has all the tools you need to decide how what is…

- Alpha 6 Released - 19 November 2014
http://i.imgur.com/kCQdgMK.png The new update for 0RBITALIS has finally arrived, and is bringing the game closer to its final form! Daily challenges: If you are familiar with games such as Spelunky, you'll know that they have a featured called daily challenge. A new level is procedurally generated every day, in such a way that it will be the same for all the players across the world. 0RBITALIS has now such a feature and it can be accessed directly from the title screen. At the moment, a daily system can be chosen out of these four: Standard systems: Similar to the first level of the game with a single star and multiple planets orbiting around it. Multiple systems: Several stars, orbiting around each other. They have a high chance of turning into pulsars. Planetary graveyards: Big asteroids orbiting in a dead system. Much like Koronis Asteroid fields: Stranded asteroids flying in the int…

- Alpha 5 Released - 11 August 2014
This new update for 0RBITALIS finally brings one of the most requested features: the online help system. By pressing H, it is possible to see where and when best players across the world clicked in order to solve a level. This feature not only allows players to solve levels much more easily, but also gives an interesting insight on how gravitational waves behave. On top of that, a lot of effort has been put into making the game much faster, especially for players with old machines. 0RBITALIS is also celebrating the Rosetta rendezvous with 67P/CG, including a new level in which players will have to adjust the trajectory of their probe in order to orbit around the comet. As always, working on 0RBITALIS is an exciting experience, especially when you can see new features getting alive. This update of 0RBITALIS also matches with GDC Europe, where I'll be giving a talk about jam games. Which,…

- Alpha 4 released - 16 May 2014
A month after its initial release, a new update for 0RBITALIS is finally available! Score histograms: After completing a level, a histogram will appear and show how good you performed compared to all the other players in the world. I never liked leaderboards because knowing the top scores is usually not useful to understand how good you are. In a game like 0RBITALIS, where stable orbits can last forever, top scores don't necessarily reflect skill, rather how long people could leave the game on. I hope histograms will fix that. Friends leaderboards: You can now see the scores of your friends. New levels: There are some quite interesting new levels in the game. The vast majority of them can be unlocked after completing a particular constellation. Some of them are really pushing the potential of the game engine, so please... you're more then welcome to post your screenshots on the Communit…
