More about this game
In Orbit Clean-Up, your goal is to collect space debris by slingshotting a probe around a central planet. The core loop involves dragging to aim and launching your probe to grab neon debris for points while dodging asteroids and chasing UFOs. As you play, the wave timer counts down from thirty, and new waves spawn more hazards and faster enemies. At ten thousand points, the environment shifts colors. The run ends when your probe loses all three of its lives.
Tips
- Aim carefully before releasing: the maximum pull distance for a launch is 170 pixels, which applies a strong impulse to your probe.
- Collect three debris in a row without taking damage to increase your score multiplier, up to a maximum of 9x.
- Cyan shields last for six seconds. Use that time to aggressively collect debris or safely ram into chasing UFOs to destroy them.
Questions
How do I get a shield?
You can get a shield by collecting cyan debris. The shield protects your probe from one hit, lasts for six seconds, and allows you to destroy UFOs by ramming them.
What happens when the wave timer runs out?
When the wave timer reaches zero, a new wave begins. This spawns more debris, adds extra red asteroids, and increases the speed of the chasing purple UFOs.
How do I increase my score multiplier?
Your multiplier increases by one for every three pieces of debris you collect in a row. If you take damage from an asteroid or UFO, your streak resets to one.
