About Orbit Guard
Orbit Guard puts you in charge of a small blue planet under a steady meteor shower. A curved shield circles the planet and follows your finger, mouse or arrow keys. Every meteor you bounce away scores points, and deflecting several in quick succession builds a chain that multiplies them. Let one through and the planet takes damage; three hits and the round is over.
Each wave is faster than the last and mixes in new kinds of rock: quick comets with long tails and heavy meteors that crack on the first hit and come back smaller. Now and then a capsule drifts in carrying a repair, a wider shield or a short slow-motion effect, so it is worth guarding it on its way down. Rounds start gently and build to frantic, which makes it easy to say one more go.
How to play
Move the shield around the planet by pointing or dragging, or with the left and right arrow keys (or A and D). Space or P pauses.
Tips
- Keep the shield between the planet and the nearest meteor rather than chasing far ones.
- Heavy meteors need two deflections; meet them early.
- Catch the repair capsule when you're down to one heart.
