Orbit Swarm

Orbit Swarm is a top-down space roguelite. Your weapons orbit your ship and fire on their own, so every second is about two things: staying alive and building something stronger than the swarm. Chart a route across a branching Star Map, land on hostile planets, defeat their Guardians and push through 30 waves to face the Overlord.

How a run works

Every run starts in the Hangar. Pick a ship, a starting weapon and a threat level, then launch. Waves last 20 to 60 seconds. You fly, dash through danger and collect crystals while alien ships close in from every side. Crystals are both your money and your experience: between waves you level up, open crates and spend what you gathered in the shop.

Your weapons sit in a ring around your ship and aim automatically. Buy two of the same weapon and they merge into a stronger tier. Mix weapon classes for set bonuses, install ship parts into your Engine, Shield, Reactor and Module slots, and stack items until your build takes over the screen.

Between waves you choose where to go next. The Star Map branches like a constellation, and only the next few sectors are visible; the rest is hidden in fog. A safe sector, a rich one, an elite fight with better loot, or an Unknown Signal that could be a fortune or a trap: the route is yours.

Six worlds, six threats

Risky planets leave a mark: every planet you enter adds permanent Anomaly. The higher it climbs, the more often you meet stronger, anomalous enemies, and the more often anomalous weapons appear in the shop.
