Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Orbtrix has been designed and built from the ground up as a broad, systems-heavy roguelite, and as a solo developer I have more ideas for content and mechanics than I can implement on my own timeline. Early Access lets me open development up to player feedback early, so the community can help validate and steer the game's direction - balance, build variety, new content priorities - before the full release is locked in.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Around 18 months.”

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

“The full release will build significantly on the EA foundation:

A polished, cohesive visual style across the whole game (currently the art direction is still coming together)
Multiplayer support, including both co-op and PvP modes
Additional game modes beyond the core run-based loop
A deeper, more flexible build-crafting system with a wider variety of viable builds
New abilities, elemental types, and enemy affixes
More varied run content and events
Replacing placeholder AI-generated content with content made by human artists/designers”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Orbtrix is a roguelite with theoretically endless runs shaped by randomized in-run events. Players can build and experiment with different combinations of powers. Currently available:

~117 perks
68 shop items
5 dash types
19 enemy affixes
5 bosses
Leaderboards
Meta-progression between runs”

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

“Yes. I plan to raise the price modestly when the game leaves Early Access, to reflect the additional content, modes, and polish added during development.”

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

“Community feedback is central to this process - I'm relying on players to help with balance testing and to suggest ideas for new content and mechanics. I'll be actively monitoring feedback channels (Steam discussions, Discord, etc.) and adjusting development priorities based on what the community tells me.”

About This Game

Momentum is your weapon

You are an orb on a floating island in space. Pick up speed, dash, and ram enemies over the edge. Every hit is physics, so speed and angle decide who goes flying.

Build something broken

  • Choose a skill (Smash, Swing, Shelling or Size) and pair it with Fire, Ice or Lightning.

  • Level up and pick from 100+ perks. Reroll offers you don't like, and ban the ones you never want to see again.

  • Every 5 minutes a shop opens mid-run. Spend Star Fragments on gear and sell what you've outgrown.

Survive the escalation

  • Runs are endless. Waves grow, enemies get stronger, and affixes change how they fight.

  • Swarms, rare bonus enemies and optional challenges pay off if you're willing to take the risk.

  • Five bosses, each with its own set of attacks. Every run draws a different lineup.

Keep coming back

  • Carry Astral Coins between runs and unlock permanent upgrades.

  • Climb the Steam leaderboards, overall and for every skill and element combination.

  • Leave mid-run and pick it up later exactly where you stopped.

Make it yours

  • Dress your orb in skins bought with Star Fragments or earned through feats, some behind secret conditions.

  • Unlock trails by pulling off the hard stuff: beat bosses, go untouched, survive on a sliver of health.

  • Mix any skin with any trail and roll out in your own style.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Generative AI tools were used during the development of the game to create and assist with certain pieces of content.

AI was used to generate some visual elements, including individual icons, as well as some sound effects. Some generated assets were further edited and adapted for use in the game.

AI was also used as an assisting tool for creating text content and localizing the game into other languages.
