Sweden based game development studio Night Node releases their first major patch for Orbital Gear. This update features a single player mode with timed challenges. Players will have to eliminate a given amount of hostile objectives in order to progress through the levels and get their name on the global leaderboard.
Players can now experience the feeling of Orbital Gear by themselves, in a series of time challenges the player will have to destroy a number of aggressive drones out to get you.
Each of the weapon in Orbital Gear has their own setup of maps and the player will need to beat certain time limits in order to collect stars, opening up the next set of challenges.
“we wanted to give players an option of learning the manoeuvrability of Orbital Gear as well as the option to try all of the different weapons, but in a really challenging way” – Rasmus Bergström, Lead Designer
The update features 48 timed challenges filled with enemies that the player will need to destroy in the shortest amount of time possible. Players are given one of the weapons 12 weapons to beat a set of four levels, in order to advance given levels in order to unlock new sets of challenges for the other weapons. Players will be able to compete against each other on the global leaderboard as well as a leaderboard with their friends.
Orbital Gear is available for PC, Mac and Linux through Steam and other digital download platforms priced at $9.99.
