About game
Stuck in a boring meeting or just waiting for your coffee to brew, you probably need a quick distraction. Orbit Assault brings the high-stakes thrill of vintage coin-op machines straight to your screen without any waiting around. You operate a powerful combat turret stationed on a fragile orbital platform to hold back relentless waves of alien invaders. Strafing left and right behind reinforced shields keeps you alive while you blast incoming threats out of the sky. Scoring big points happens when you target the elusive flying saucer that streaks across the upper atmosphere. Every surviving alien speeds up the pace, turning the screen into a chaotic storm of enemy fire. Getting a high score feels satisfying because your record stays locked into the cloud for bragging rights. Earning an extra life at every milestone keeps the session going longer than you expected.
