ORBITRONIX

ORBITRONIX

A 16-bit sci-fi platformer

Run, jump and fight your way through twelve sectors of an orbital station. Face lava, lasers, ice and crushers, then survive inverted gravity, shatter glass with sound, travel as a beam of light, ride a magnetic field on your own charge, stand on your own past self, split in two and outlast black holes that slow down time around them.

TRAILER

Ninety seconds of gameplay

All the sectors, the bosses and the soundtrack as they look and sound in the game.

STATION SECTORS

The road to the event horizon

From a foundry in orbit to the edge of a black hole. Click a screenshot to take a closer look.

SECTOR 1

ORBITAL FOUNDRY

Drones, laser spikes, springs and moving platforms. This is where you learn to jump.

BOSS: WARDEN
SECTOR 2

VERDANT REACTOR

Crumbling floors, fan updrafts and laser gates above a molten core.

BOSS: ROOTMIND
SECTOR 3

ASHEN CITADEL

Phase blocks blinking in turn, conveyors, crushers and saws over a rift into the void.

BOSS: SOVEREIGN
SECTOR 4

GLACIAL DESCENT

The camera heads down: slippery ice, frosted walls to cling to and falling icicles.

BOSS: HOARFROST
SECTOR 5

INVERTED ORBIT

Gravity beacons flip the pull. Half the sector is played upside down.

BOSS: PULSAR
SECTOR 6

PRISM ARRAY

A zigzag climb up a laser tower: rotating beams, tripwires and bridges of hard light.

BOSS: ARGUS
SECTOR 7

ECHO CHAMBER

Every step rings out as a wave of sound. Tuning forks shatter glass, bats hunt anything that moves, and dark halls light up only where the echo goes.

BOSS: SIREN
SECTOR 8

SPECTRAL GARDEN

Dive into glass and become a beam of light. Prisms bend you, rainbows dye you, and color filters let only the right color through.

BOSS: IRIS
SECTOR 9

TESLA WORKS

Your charge meets a magnetic field: run the right way and the Lorentz force lifts you over the gap. Tesla coils strike whatever is closest.

BOSS: MAGNIFIER
SECTOR 10

ENDLESS HOUR

A clockwork sector stuck in one hour. Loop chambers rewind time, and every lap you live stays behind as a past self to stand on.

BOSS: OUROBOROS
SECTOR 11

QUANTUM FOAM

The path splits and so do you. Two copies, one set of controls, one life between them.

BOSS: GEMINI
SECTOR 12

EVENT HORIZON

Near each singularity your clock slows down while the world speeds up. Then the horizon comes after you.

BOSS: KERR
