A pretty original style of pure game play video game that has you guiding a satellite through opposing forces of gravity! So you don't directly control the object, just gravity and anti-gravity. Surround your planet with satellites to to goal and win.
No title The first bit generation i bought , and probably the best one.
So simple , but so addictive , beautifull , charming ... Eveyrthing make this a must have , especially at that price.
Hope to have back in stock quick.

Minimalistic, but beautiful Orbital is a unique game that only uses the A and B
button. You exist as a celestial body using the buttons
to use your gravity to repel or draw you towards objects
you need to grow, like small matter and moons.Sounds simple?
It's not.
You get lulled into a sense of confidence but the puzzles get more and more difficult. I got so frustrated that I had to put the game down for a month just so I wouldn't pull my hair out over it. I have let a friend borrow it for the last 6 months and the same thing happens to him. He's going to be ordering it soon for himself.
Unfortunately most People don't really look for the aesthetic in video games. The whole bit Generations series has it.
My only gripe (why there's 4 stars): These games
don't take alot of memory, why not release a limited edition version for the DS that has all these games on one game card.

A beautiful piece of gaming Oh yes, great things DO come in small packages. Orbital, like all bit Generations -games, has a humble yet simplisticly stylish look. But on the inside of it lurks a game so addictive and clever, that you just can't avoid falling in love.
Dreamy tunes, tricky planetary puzzles, a two-button-based gameplay, everything works. It might not be the longest game around, but I guarantee that you'll be returning to Orbital soon enough even if it's played through from top to bottom and back. And what matters most is that you'll have fun all the way. Import it.
By the way, you easily get a craving for these bit Generations -titles. I ordered two for starters, and leaving it at that is unfortunately no option. Hopefully they'll all work as greatly as this one(and Soundvoyager).
Gotta catch'em all. ;)

Brilliant game You only use A and B to change the gravitational pull between you and the nearest planet. The object of each level is to become large enough to get a certain celestial body in your orbit. It reminds me a bit of Katamari Damacy in space. It's great to take anywhere, and it is one of the most innovative games I've seen in a while.
