Orbix - Check out this rather unique Commodore 64 game by fleischgemuese! [V1.0.1]

As you all know we feature as many different games as possible from every walk of retro gaming life. Well today retro gaming news is no exception! As thanks to a heads up by a good friend of ours, we've been told that fleischgemuese has released the rather unique Commodore 64 game of Orbix. A puzzle-solving ( and a bit of luck ) game, in which you have to eliminate all the orange Orbz by launching a ball from the top to clear each level. To coincide with this news, we've got some more details and new gameplay footage from Saberman.

And here's the latest from the website. "Welcome to the Orbix solar system! Your mission is simple: eliminate all the orange Orbz by launching a ball from the top to clear each level. But it's not just about accuracy-plan your shots carefully, use puzzle-solving skills, or rely on a bit of luck to conquer the game. Plan ahead, aim wisely, and overcome every challenge to rack up as many points as you can! But be careful-the number of balls is limited. Run out, and its game over".

Watch out for special elements like:

  • Tray: Save balls by targeting the tray.
  • Cannons: Catch the balls and fire them in your wanted direction.
  • Portals: Teleport your ball to different parts of the screen.
  • Lasers: Dangerous, do not touch them or deactivate them.
  • Switches: Unlock hidden areas or activate special mechanics.
  • Bombs: Cause explosive chain reactions to clear obstacles.
  • Gravity swaps: Change the direction of gravity to add a twist to your shots.
  • Extra balls: Need some more power, unlock other balls.
  • Bumbers: Boost your ball.

  5. Awesome game, never seen such a game on the C64. Good gameplay, if you increase the speed in Vice it is still more fun (but no need to do so).

  6. V1.0.1 increases the speed 2x on C128 machines, means much smoother gameplay
