Orbital Devastation is a fast-paced action 2D single and multiplayer arcade-like game. Drawing inspiration in legendary Missile Command game it features Beat 'em up and base defence elements.
You are taking a role of a commander of city defences. Your city happens to be under an attack from your rival city. Objective is simple - defend your base from falling meteorites and manipulate orbital asteroids to destroy enemy base before you run out of resources!
- Base's shield repair [
key 1] - Proximity cannon [
left mouse button]- Defensive action. Cannon placed in your base can shoot and destroy falling meteorites.
- Double hook launcher [
right mouse button]- Defensive action. Can grab meteorites near your base and neutralize them. It will also harvest caught meteorites for resources.
- Targeted mine [
middle mouse button]- Offensive action. Drops mines in planet's orbit. Mines explode upon contact with asteroids and send them flying toward the planet's surface.
Resources are limited but can be mined from meteorites. Golden meteorites are much more richer on resources.
All three actions can be upgraded by spending resources. There are three stages and also an extra activable ability for every action.
Additional technology crates can be be found in stratosphere and can be used to improve your various stats and actions.
