May 12, 2015I found my time with Lost Orbit to be enjoyable, and I wish there was more to it outside of the three hour campaign and time trial mode. The fact that I want more speaks highly of Lost Orbit and how it managed to hold my attention all the way through.

May 10, 2015This isn’t just a game about dodging rocks, it turns out. It’s about companionship (even if out of circumstance and/or boredom) and realizing that mindlessly following orders might lead to the feeling of being lost in space.
-
May 14, 2015Either way you approach the game, Lost Orbit is an enjoyable game. Although things can get a little crazy with all of the gravitational hijinks as you zip through space, the game is not punishing to casual gamers.
-
Jun 9, 2015Lost Orbit features an endearing story that is wrapped in a wonderful package with great attention to detail. However, even at 40 levels, the game is over too soon and the wonky controls can be problematic for a genre that requires lighting fast timing.
-
May 26, 2015When the engrossing gameplay is combined with the beautiful visuals and satisfying soundtrack, you get a game that delivers in every single way.
-
May 19, 2015A simple, yet eminently playable dodge em' up vertical scroller, Lost Orbit will suck players in with its tight controls and wonderfully constructed story.
-
May 14, 2015Lost Orbit is full of great ideas, and if you know nothing about it, we're sure it's going to be a great surprise.
-
May 14, 2015The constant need to speed up, turn, avoid, or utilize level features at break neck speeds all conspire to make your moves instinctual. It’s possible to get “in the zone,” with this game, where you hit that Zen state where your hands know what to do faster than your brain does.
-
May 11, 2015In its small, colourful world, Lost Orbit maxes out, delivering a satisfying and fun race through space, gleefully navigating obstacles with reckless abandon.
-
May 11, 2015If you’re looking for a game that will test your reflexes, Lost Orbit is your game.
-
May 11, 2015Boiled down to its essence it's a game about dodging obstacles, which isn't exactly an amazing concept. But it takes that concept and runs with it, doing its dodging thing well.
-
May 11, 2015Lost Orbit is fast-paced, adrenaline-filled fun with a story that, while entertaining, feels like an odd pairing to its gameplay.
-
May 15, 2015Cool concept and well executed, Lost Orbit is worth your attention.
-
May 26, 2015An in cohesive story and faulty control scheme keep Lost Orbit from reaching the clouds. However, if you're willing to overlook its problems, you'll find something nice to keep you busy in-between larger titles.

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.
