What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Orbit Express started out as an entry for the 53rd Ludum Dare Jam, and we loved it so much that we continued its development. With the primary gameplay mechanics and lore in place, we decided to invite players to explore the world of Orbit Express, and use feedback from the community to finetune the next phase in our development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We strive to deliver the full version of the game to players within 6-12 months. However, we are committed to making sure it measures up to the highest standards, and may extend the Early Access period if necessary.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“In the full version, we are planning to add several more layers of difficulty to the procedurally generated world, such as alien crafts, pirate motherships, space debris, miniature black holes (with not so miniature gravitational fields) and mysterious space anomalies. There will also be more Über Planets to test your skill against, an “Endless Delivery Run” game mode, and Steam achievements. The Orbit Express Hangar will be populated with a large variety of amazing new crafts to unlock, and the Upgrade Bay will be expanded to feature 10 skill tiers.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version is stable, well rounded, and in our admittedly biased opinion, very fun to play. Despite the relatively limited amount of content, the procedural world generation system keeps each run feeling fresh. The game’s soundtrack is fully produced, and includes 7 original tracks of stylish, retro synth music.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will increase after the Early Access phase, as we continue to work to deliver more content and features to the game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Nebula Nomad Games was founded by gamers, and exists FOR gamers. We will appreciate feedback from the community on anything from the game’s difficulty curve to its sarcastic brand of humor. Show us what you got - we’re listening.”

About This Game





As a new employee at Orbit Express, you'll be piloting your very own spacecraft and charged with the safe delivery of packages across the galaxy! Manage your fuel, make deliveries to gain Orbs, and spend them on upgrades - you'll need them as you venture deeper into a dangerous, uncharted galaxy.



Delivering packages is not a sprint, it’s a marathon! To be successful (and stay alive), you’ll need to master the art of firing your thrusters periodically to control the velocity, pitch and acceleration of your craft* in the vacuum of space.
* By "your craft" we mean "company property".



There are no gas stations in space, but we here at Orbit Express are confident in your ability to salvage Fuel Cells along your journey. As per your employee contract, fuel costs are docked from your pay - the more fuel you burn to make a delivery, the fewer Orbs you earn.





Orbit Express is proud to be the only service operating in the galaxy’s hazardous outer reaches! Watch out for pirates, comets and orbiting moons, as they can swiftly end your promising career. Stay sharp, who knows what dangers lurk in uncharted space?
Disclaimer: Orbit Express is not liable for any loss of life or limb.



When approaching a planet, be mindful of your velocity and the planet's gravitational pull. The green zone is ideal for deliveries and slingshot maneuvers. Gravity in the red zone is much stronger, which can be useful or deadly - enter at your own risk!





Your Shipboard Navigation Apparatus (or S.N.A.P) will point the way to your next delivery. When you enter the planet’s orbit, head for your Drop Zone - packages released outside its range are considered lost and docked from your pay.
Disclaimer: Three lost packages will result in the immediate termination of your contract.



Your craft is a blank canvas for your dreams - if you've got enough Orbs, that is. Be sure to visit the Upgrade Bay to explore all the new and exciting features you can add to it! Expand your Control Panel as you unlock new abilities to help you survive the perilous life of an Orbit Express delivery pilot.
Disclaimer: all upgrades are purchased at pilot's expense.

Thank you for choosing* Orbit Express!

*We know you don't have a choice but we appreciate you regardless.
