Hop into Orbo's shoes! Run, jump and drill around your boss's office, make some new friends, and uncover terrifying secrets about the company you work for in this comedically surreal 3D platformer!
Orbo, the game's protagonist, boasts a unique set of abilities that elevate the platforming mechanics to new heights. Players consistently praise the game's "high-octane movement that's simple to learn, but hard to master." Orbo can "jump," "dive," and execute a powerful "drilling" move, which propels him through the air like a "rocket." The controls feel "tight" and "majestic," allowing players to execute intricate maneuvers and achieve remarkable speeds. The platforming challenges are designed to showcase these movement mechanics, with "momentum-boosting machines" and "time trials" that push players to their limits. Reviewers highlight how the skill ceiling is "so high" that they can always find ways to improve their times and master the movement system further.
The exceptional platforming and movement mechanics give the game a high degree of replayability, especially for speedrunners. Time trials are available on each of the game's four "unique levels," and players can compete to beat the developer's own times, adding an additional layer of challenge. Reviewers note that the game's "secret areas waiting to be discovered" further encourage repeated playthroughs as players strive to uncover all the hidden collectibles and explore the levels more thoroughly.
Beyond the exceptional gameplay, the game excels in its surreal and comedic presentation. Reviewers consistently praise the "incredibly funny" writing and "comedically surreal" world, with "many, many comedic sight-gags" that contribute to the overall charm and uniqueness of the experience. The game's narrative, while not the main focus, is described as "goofy and funny," with a cast of eccentric characters that players enjoy interacting with. The overall tone and setting, described as "psychedelic" and "surreal," further enhance the game's distinct personality and appeal.
