Orbz
-
Version
2.10
Orbz is a refreshingly fun action/arcade game like no
other. The object of the game is to shoot your orb at
star-shaped targets located throughout 14 colorful
worlds in a race to score the most points. You will
score higher and faster as you explore each new world
and learn how to best plan out each shot. Real-world
physics affect your shots, accelerators and
teleporters allow you to travel great distances, and
magnets can attract or repel your orb. The environment
affects your orb in other ways too, as shooting out of
water slows you down, hitting sand will stop your orb
quickly, and skipping across ice causes your orb to
slide further than in grass. Eight zany power-ups,
like the "Money Shot" and "Curse of the Goober", are
also available to either give you a scoring advantage
or to slow down your opponents. In Solo Mode, the
player completes a series of progressively difficult
challenges that focus on scoring the most points in a
variety of scenarios. Bronze, Silver, and Gold medals
are awarded for scoring performance and high scores
for each challenge are tracked worldwide against all
other Orbz players. For every 5 gold medals you earn,
you will also unlock a fancy new orb to use in Solo or
Online mode. Solo Mode also contains a tutorial that
will teach you basic controls and scoring strategies.
The Online Mode allows Orbz players to compete against
each other over the internet or local area network. Up
to 10 players, including computer opponents called
Botz, can join a game lobby where the matches are
created by selecting the course to play, number of
rounds in the match, and a per-round time limit. A
worldwide ranking system is also available for those
who wish to compete for the ultimate title of Orbz
Champion. Simple to learn, but difficult to master,
Orbz will give you and your family hours and hours of
exciting, nonviolent fun!
