The Developer Says...

12 orbits is the only local multiplayer game for 2-12 people at once, no matter what you play on. A single keyboard, touchscreen or controller will do.

❤ The Controls Empower Players

Each player controls a character using a single button press. Inside circular "orbits," pressing the button causes the character to orbit around the center. Pressing the button outside the circles makes the character dash in that direction. This one-button control scheme allows up to 12 players to easily join in on the same input device, whether it's a keyboard, controller, or touch screen.

❤ A Diverse Suite of Game Modes

The game offers four distinct game modes that cater to different playstyles: Arena: Players must fill the arena with spheres of their own color, while avoiding spheres of other players' colors. The arena becomes increasingly crowded, creating a "bullet hell" experience. Trails: Players grow their trails by collecting spheres, with the goal of blocking opponents and causing them to crash into the trail, similar to the classic Snake game. Multiball (Teams): Teams must hit balls to change their color and score in the opposing team's goal, adding a chaotic soccer/football element. Blizzard (Teams): Players must defend against a barrage of falling spheres, while also attempting to send them back towards the opposing team's side.

❤ Constant, Unpredictable Action

Regardless of the game mode, the orbiting mechanic and ability to shoot spheres at opponents lead to a constant state of flux as players fight for control of the arena. This dynamic, ever-changing gameplay is further amplified by the support for up to 12 players at once, creating a lively, unpredictable experience.

❤ Accessibility and Ease of Use

The single-button control scheme makes the game easy to pick up and play, even for non-gamers. Players can quickly set up a game, simply needing to press a button on the keyboard or controller to claim their control scheme. This low barrier to entry allows groups of players to dive into the action immediately.

❤ Depth and Replayability

While the core mechanics are simple, the game offers surprising depth and replayability. Each game mode presents strategic considerations, as players must carefully navigate the orbits, time their attacks, and outmaneuver their opponents. The variety of game modes and customizable settings provide ample opportunity for players to explore different approaches and hone their skills.
