Aug 30, 2015The soundtrack works perfectly with the game itself.

May 18, 2015Lost Orbit tries to be quick and quirky, but fails with the first element. It doesn't force you to go quick, which is a shame for a game where everything is build around speed. Great atmosphere, music, but a fundamental flaw in gameplay.

May 11, 2015Due in part to its brevity, Lost Orbit isn't the most memorable of adventures. You barrel through its levels quickly, and unless you want to try for faster time trial scores, there's not a lot to come back for. Still, the rush of speed and the simple charms of the animation and narration make this game a blast while it lasts.

Jul 8, 2015Lost Orbit can't make up its mind about what it wants to be, and the result is neither a touching tale of survival nor technically-compelling arcade-style action. It's not a bad piece of work and would certainly shine with better integration of its elements, but design confusion is its most notable characteristic, and that's not a good place for a game to be.

May 20, 2015Speed runners, risk takers, and thrill seekers will all be sorely disappointed to miss out here – but everyone else can pass.

Dec 21, 2021Wickedly tricky game that I enjoyed immensely. The difficulty just makes moment of flow so much more satisfying. Very much like the Alto games.
