Welcome to the Orbix solar system! Your mission is simple: eliminate all the orange Orbz by launching a ball from the top to clear each level. But it's not just about accuracy-plan your shots carefully, use puzzle-solving skills, or rely on a bit of luck to conquer the game.
Watch out for special elements like:
- Tray: Save balls by targeting the tray.
- Cannons: Catch the balls and fire them in your wanted direction.
- Portals: Teleport your ball to different parts of the screen.
- Lasers: Dangerous, do not touch them or deactivate them.
- Switches: Unlock hidden areas or activate special mechanics.
- Bombs: Cause explosive chain reactions to clear obstacles.
- Gravity swaps: Change the direction of gravity to add a twist to your shots.
- Extra balls: Need some more power, unlock other balls.
- Bumbers: Boost your ball.
Plan ahead, aim wisely, and overcome every challenge to rack up as many points as you can! But be careful-the number of balls is limited. Run out, and its game over.
