Orbital takes simple gameplay and dresses it up with a unique "gravity" feature and enhanced graphics. The game can be very frustrating at times, but that won't keep you from coming back for another try.

ORBITAL is a game of skill, it's a game of strategy, it's a game of reflexes, and it's a game you will keep front and center of your iPhone for weeks on end.

A picnic to understand, but a marathon to get beyond the first few minutes, Orbital's simple style is perfect for those looking for fill the odd spare moment. 8/10

Orbital is the most visually appealing brick breaker type game that I have ever laid eyes on and had the chance to play. 5/5
- Mike (iphoneincanada.ca)
While there are already a few iPhone games that share the same gameplay mechanics as Orbital, none of them look anywhere near as cool.

BitForge has managed to combine the addictive gameplay of Peggle and the beauty of Geometry Wars, two digital forms of crack, into one easy to use package.

Orbital has got fantastic graphics and unfussy features. Come to think of it, there are really no negative points about the game. Good going, Bitforge! 5/5

GAMEPLAY
You must shoot orbs onto a grid with your cannon. The orb which has been shot and which always contains a three will blow up until it touches an obstacle. Hitting orbs decreases the number until they explode, earning you a point. The game could be endless... There is just one condition: a shot orb must not touch the death line above the cannon! If it does, the game is over.
A simple concept to rack your brains and nerves.
