If I ever end up lost in space I hope to have as much fun as Harrison does on his journey through deep space. This game is absolutely stunning. Fast paced, beautiful art style, intricate level design, and top notch audio. Seriously, in space no one can hear you scream, but you can definitely hear all of the sweet beats this game has. Altogether, this game is a great deal of fun. Anyone who is looking for a few hours of quality entertainment at an affordable price should definitely check out LOST ORBIT.

Lost Orbit isn't the most memorable of adventures. You barrel through its levels quickly, and unless you want to try for faster time trial scores, there's not a lot to come back for. Still, the rush of speed and the simple charms of the animation and narration make this game a blast while it lasts.
I wasn't expecting much of Lost Orbit to be honest... I bought thinking it could be fun for a little while... And indeed, the game is fun, you fly, you die... you try to speed through debris, you die, you race, you die... Well, you die quite a lot in this game ! But outside of the gameplay, it's not what really caught me in the game, what caught me was the story of an unlikely friendship between man and machine ! The story is told from the eyes of the machine yet you control the man who never say a single word by himself but you kind of grow fond of the probe following you and telling the story. It's the only thing that made me finish the game so damn fast ! I always wanted to know what the little probe would tell about our journey together and our growing friendship... I got really attached to the probe and I was sad the game ended... I wish the probe would talk more than it does already because I felt the level was empty when there weren't any speech. The voice actor is quite amaz...
I played this game at PAX East this past April and enjoyed it so I ended up following through and purchasing the game. I absolutely love it. I find everything about it great: -Going at high speeds through pulsars and gas giants and gaining even more speed -Dodging obstacles left and right and zipping through debris -The unique mechanic of being able to go from one side of the screen to the other -The variety in solar systems (Thier colors, debris, and art style) -Beautiful art style that is almost like a cartoon but is really quite amazing -The music in this game is absolutely amazing and fits it so well One thing that I'm really enjoying about this game is the humble story line. I find myself happy whenever a segment of narration is about to occur, not only because the voice acting is phenomenal, but because the story is emotional and interesting and I find myself wanted to know what Atley has to say about Harrison and his humanly ways. I think that one of the reasons I was compel...
This game is a masterpiece. From the encapselating story to the beautifully deep space environments. You feel for Harrison as you navigate through the universe. Throughout the game they hit you with a wonderful story told by someone following you, which adds so much to the games feel. If you have a few hours to kill pick this up and you wont stop smiling! Happy Orbiting!
Lost Orbit's a fun, twitchy dodge-em-up that sees a lone astronaut and his robot sidekick hurtling through space in search of a way home. Or maybe just in search of a way to not die every 15 seconds. Trust me, that'll be happening a lot. And whilst it may not sound like an attractive prospect, every time it happened I found myself immediately mashing the retry button without even a care - it's that sort of die-horribly/get-back-up-again gameplay loop that Super Meat Boy perfected. It feels like a lot of love and care was poured into this game. The visuals and music are top-notch and the controls feel like they've been tuned to perfection. I do wish it was longer, or had something to keep me revisiting it beyond just honing my times, and that's my only real quibble. If the preview videos leave you thinking that it might be something you'll enjoy, the chances are high that you will.
I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could pla...
Game is unplayable on Ubuntu 15.04 with triple head monitor setup (3 vertical monitors 1200x1920 each). The menu is stretched like a horizontal slut and nearly unusable. The game starts but graphics are mostly placed outside of view port. Seems as if this game has never been tested at 3600x1920 resolution. Unfortunately it cannot be switched to windowed mode or to lower its resolution, Before LO, I played train valley demo which looks and runs just great on triple head setup. Did anybody test LO on 4k monitors? Please fix this issue so that I can write a positive feedback.
Casual gaming with great vibes. Play at your own speed for the most part and enjoy all the charming quirkiness.
Just finished the game and here it is folks. This game above anything speaks on a level of Daoism. If you want a game where it makes you question yourself in this universe, please buy this game. The sidekick/narrator has this calm voice that should be giving lectures at a planetarium. The game itself is stunning and it's something that you would want as a free floating mode and just cruise through the cosmos. Onward to the game-play. The control's are what you would expect in a null gravity environment. Remember, you are a spaceman doing an EVA with a single point thrust source. You will have directional lag, so don't expect pin point control. The "warp zones" are everywhere, but that does not mean you have to use them. The walls are hazards, the space is a hazard, everything is a hazard. Everything is trying to kill you, even you are trying to kill you. That's the charm, picture the movie "Gravity"...but better... I will not give away the story, but I will say this about this added fe...
