A Classic Brick Breaker… Or So It Seems
At first glance, Orbituous feels like a simple, nostalgic throwback—a vibrant, fast-paced Arkanoid-style brick breaker with colorful visuals and satisfying physics. It’s designed to be casual, something you can pick up and play at any time. Break the bricks, keep the ball in motion, and progress through increasingly challenging levels.
But as you play… things start to feel off.
Maybe it’s the way the ball’s trajectory seems too unpredictable at times. Or the faint, distorted whispers buried beneath the retro soundtrack. The bricks—once simple obstacles—begin forming strange patterns, almost as if they are speaking to you. The game reacts to your actions in ways it shouldn’t. Messages flicker, disappearing before you can process them.
And yet… nothing is wrong. This is just a casual game. Right?
