Arm your mech with futuristic weapons and slingshot yourself with the gravitational pull from planets and space structures to battle your opponents. You skillfully manage to eliminate the opposing mechs and get past enemy lines, now you have your chance to wreck havoc on their base. Getting one step closer to securing your hard earned victory. Defeat your opponents with the planet scorching Kasainami, the black hole generating Phase Gun or any of the other futuristic weapons available to you. The choice is yours.

Orbital Gear is a high paced multiplayer 2.5D shooter featuring classic arcade gameplay. You choose one of four mechs and arm them with two out of twelve  weapons. Manoeuvre your mech through space, using gravitational force of the planets to gain speed and strategically place yourself on the battlefield.

There are two game modes in Orbital Gear:

• Classic Deathmatch with free-for-all fighting
• Orbital Warfare where the goal is to destroy the opposing team's base. Your opponents are defeated either by having their base destroyed by direct firepower or through the collection of the fallen competitor's Energy Cores, which are used to charge a super weapon that destroys the opponent's base.

Orbital Gear will be available on the 7th of August through Steam and other digital download platforms for PC, Mac and Linux.
