0RBITALIS is a fun game, one that you can lose yourself in a while but never quite get completely lost in. It can be fun, but it can also be frustrating because of its shortcomings. It's the sort of game that's a test of not only your luck but your mind as well, and the combination of those two things really works out in the end.
