Description
About This Game
As a new employee at Orbit Express, you'll be piloting your very own spacecraft and charged with the safe delivery of packages across the galaxy! Manage your fuel, make deliveries to gain Orbs, and spend them on upgrades - you'll need them as you venture deeper into a dangerous, uncharted galaxy.
Delivering packages is not a sprint, it’s a marathon! To be successful (and stay alive), you’ll need to master the art of firing your thrusters periodically to control the velocity, pitch and acceleration of your craft* in the vacuum of space.
* By "your craft" we mean "company property".
There are no gas stations in space, but we here at Orbit Express are confident in your ability to salvage Fuel Cells along your journey. As per your employee contract, fuel costs are docked from your pay - the more fuel you burn to make a delivery, the fewer Orbs you earn.
Orbit Express is proud to be the only service operating in the galaxy’s hazardous outer reaches! Watch out for pirates, comets and orbiting moons, as they can swiftly end your promising career. Stay sharp, who knows what dangers lurk in uncharted space?
Disclaimer: Orbit Express is not liable for any loss of life or limb.
When approaching a planet, be mindful of your velocity and the planet's gravitational pull. The green zone is ideal for deliveries and slingshot maneuvers. Gravity in the red zone is much stronger, which can be useful or deadly - enter at your own risk!
Your Shipboard Navigation Apparatus (or S.N.A.P) will point the way to your next delivery. When you enter the planet’s orbit, head for your Drop Zone - packages released outside its range are considered lost and docked from your pay.
Disclaimer: Three lost packages will result in the immediate termination of your contract.
Your craft is a blank canvas for your dreams - if you've got enough Orbs, that is. Be sure to visit the Upgrade Bay to explore all the new and exciting features you can add to it! Expand your Control Panel as you unlock new abilities to help you survive the perilous life of an Orbit Express delivery pilot.
Disclaimer: all upgrades are purchased at pilot's expense.
Thank you for choosing* Orbit Express!
*We know you don't have a choice but we appreciate you regardless.
