Release Date: May 12, 2015
An unusual platform game and the first production by Pinxelnauts, a studio which used to create visual elements for other developers. You play as a lone astronaut called Harrison, whose ship malfunctions badly. Harrison leaves the ship and has to continue his journey on his own. He has to face many dangers, such as a previously unknown civilization. Lost Orbit can be called a vertical platformer, since you move toward the top of the screen.
Lost Orbit for PC and PS4 is an arcade game by Pixelnatus. It is the first production fully developed by the studio, which used to create visual elements for games by other developers, such as Contrast.
You play as a lone astronaut called Harrison, whose ship malfunctions badly, which results it its complete destruction. Harrison manages to escape, but now he has to go back home on his own, with no means of transport except the gravitational forces of space objects. On his way, he encounters not only many perils, but also a previously unknown civilization.
The game is a vertical platformer, which means that your task is to move upwards, not to the side. Harrison can use a jetpack, but by doing so, he uses up precious fuel, restricting its use to correcting the trajectory. You primary propellants are the gravitational forces of planetoids. Circling around their orbits you gather speed and then choose the right moment to jump, so that you may shoot like a bullet in the chosen direction. The maps are full of dangerous asteroids and other objects, which can be deadly on impact.
Lost Orbit for PC and PS4 features attractive cartoonish 3D visuals. The events of the game are also accompanied by a commentary describing what's happening on screen and sometimes even helping Harrison.

Game Ratings for Lost Orbit Video Game.
The Digital Fix: 8 / 10 by Liam Croft
When we first launched Lost Orbit, we didn't expect to be treated to such a mesmerising experience. The game's lack of attacking options forced us to think differently about our approach and in turn, made us fear every obstacle in our path. When the engrossing gameplay is combined with the beautiful visuals and satisfying soundtrack, you get a game that delivers in every single way. While we did suffer from some problems with the controls in the first few levels and the upgrade tree is on the short side, these problems aren't enough to take away from the fantastic experience of playing Lost Orbit.
Digital Chumps: 7.6 / 10 by Steven McGehee
Cool concept and well executed, Lost Orbit is worth your attention.
PlayStation Universe: 8 / 10 by John-Paul Jones
A simple, yet eminently playable dodge em' up vertical scroller, Lost Orbit will suck players in with its tight controls and wonderfully constructed story.
