A peaceful little planet is drifting through space… but disaster is coming.

In Orbis & Disaster, you play as a lone wanderer living on a tiny planet in the middle of the cosmos. Meteors and other disasters constantly threaten your world, and survival depends on how well you prepare.

Your mission is simple: gather resources, build defenses, and protect your planet.

Gameplay

• Walk around your tiny rotating planet

• Mine gold from the mine

• Build structures to protect the planet

• Survive waves of incoming space disasters

• Score points by lasting longer and defending the planet

Controls

• Move around the planet by using "A" for left or "D" for right.
• Mining the the mine for gold by pressing "E" key.
• Select the cards for building the structures

You can build three different structures, each helping defend the planet in a unique way.

• Rocket Launcher:  A station launching rockets straight into the sky, one every 4s
• Electric Turret:  A turret zapping electricity in an area
• Barrier Reactor:  A reator that generates a shield for an area

Disasters and Alien Forces

Because of not having much time for the jam, so now there are just 2 kind of enemies.

• Meteor: just a meteor from the sky
• Spaceship: shoots 1 bullets after a couple of minutes

Objective

Survive as many disaster waves as possible and achieve the highest score you can.

Credits

This project was mostly developed by myself. I worked on the game design, programming, and sprite artwork. However, the game wouldn’t have been possible without the contributions of the following creators:

• Player's character spritesheet: Free Protagonist (Animated Character) by Penzilla
• Music: 2 beautiful tracks by Mate, known as Cyberwave-Orchestra. Check out more of his beautiful works on Pixabay.
  • Game Loop Theme: Game of Adventure – Fun Quirky Animation Style Music
  • Main Menu Theme: SciFi Space Ambient Background Music
• Logo: a piece of art work from my sister Sa Deepquin

State of this version of the game

This project was originally created for the 2D Pixel Art Game Jam #0. Although the jam lasted two weeks, the game itself was developed in just 7 days.

Because of the limited time, the game still has several issues. Some visual elements are bugged (such as missing white outlines), and the gameplay balance is not quite where I want it to be.

I’m currently working on a patch/update to fix these problems, improve the balance, and polish the overall experience.
