Orbital Racer

Very fun game with STUNNING visuals! (The video actually looks worse than the game itself). I really like the concept, and I'm getting good at racing. Game has great potential! What I would improve: - This game BEGS for VR Support. I want to race using Oculus VR! - Main menu interface could be re-designed, it feels over-complicated, rather it should guide player by hand. - Would be awesome if it had Multiplayer so I could race with friends. But overall very fun game I hope there will be some updates, and I will definitely play more!

I like physics based games and seeing videos of this reminded me of an old C64 game I had called Starace (you may look at it now and laugh but it was so futuristic back then). [b]This review is based on playing the simulation mode of the game, rather than arcade[/b]. Arcade mode looks entertaining enough - I just felt like a challenge. To describe the game in this mode, imagine Elite Dangerous with all the flight aids off and a track of checkpoints rather than a big void to shoot stuff in - that might alude to the challenge that will face you when playing this. You need good perception of inertia and expect to go through all the gates sideways (sometimes backwards) as you have to plan at least one corner ahead if not more. Naturally, the wishful thinking that I would excel in this mode quickly vanished as I failed to pace laps correctly and the AI in the game is crushingly difficult, even at Beginner. I don't see that as a negative but more as a target for me to improve to. Track des...

Game is currently broken, you can't edit the default controls or calibrate a gamepad. Abandoned by the developer, it seems. Sad, because it's the only game like it.

wow. I can't believe how great this game is. I play only "float", (no "flight assist" or "inertial stabilization"), and I use a custom 4 joystick controller I made from arduino so that I can have all 6dof on sticks,, and actually searched high and low for a game just like this one,,, never found it,,, and only discovered it when someone recommended it in a forum. This game does take more coordination than the average bear who didn't play 6dof yet,,, but Nothing makes me happier than a game where the main engine provides the real thrust, and the maneuvering thrusters are proportionally smaller,, (forcing the pilot to point the crafts nose much sharper than the required turn, and throttle the main engine)... I can't believe my luck!! Seriously, I built that controller just for this kind of game, without even knowing it existed yet. I really hit the jackpot... It's super easy to make your own custom controller,, joysticks and arduinos are super affordable,, and super easy to use,, an...

This game is great fun to play and with more content it would be truly Awesome! Also don't let the minimum system requirements put you off, I can run it on high settings 1080p with my Gtx 1050 2gb easily. EDIT> This game has been abandoned.

12 hours in. I have just won my first career race. Buy this, put it on simulation. The flight mechanics are just insanely rewarding. I bought it for £1 but having spent time in it, the regular asking price of around £10 is worth it if you really enjoy a challenge. There is no multiplayer and never will be. Still buy it.

Although this game is abandoned, it's still worth getting (particularly when on sale like it is at the time of this writing), even though I hadn't played it for over a year until today. But that's because it's so very hard! Realistic Newtonian spaceflight racing. You have to manage your fuel -- don't carry too much or you'll be overweight and slow, but carry enough to finish the race. Other settings also affect performance, like shielding against damage if you collide with other vehicles adding weight. Unlike the re-release on consoles such as Nintendo Switch (as "Void Space Racing"), this version has more maneuvering thrusters (translation up/down/left/right), more hardcore physics, a career mode with money management and sponsorships, and a silly "arcade mode" with power-ups and weapons, which I don't bother with. What it doesn't have that the console version does is multiplayer (albeit local only). There's joy enough to be had in just doing clean laps, as well as finally getting a...

I really hope this game will at some point be multiplayer. SOO much potential!

Great Mechanics in simulator mode. Very pretty graphics. The whole time I just wanted to play this in VR though. Please please devs, make this for the Index. It has all the mechanics I dont get from Elite Dangerous (it flies like ED: w/ Flight Assist off but with good prograde vector controls) or Star Citizen, it would be a masterpiece in VR. Great game!

Pretty cool game for relax - enjoy! :) :D
