The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A fast, rhythmic arcade experience that demands precise timing as you pilot a planet through a constantly shifting starfield.

What players say

Players describe Orbital X as a difficult rhythm-based arcade runner with a hypnotic flow. Opinions split on visual design: some find the flashing colors eye-straining, while others appreciate the style. Many note it works well for short play sessions or relaxing, but a few report that the game crashes on Windows 10.
