Orbital Cascade is Now Playable! 🚀

Hey everyone! I’m thrilled to announce that Orbital Cascade is now playable by the public for the very first time. This marks a huge milestone for the game, and I’m excited to share what’s available and give you a peek at what’s coming next.

Current Features ✨

Right now, the game is in a playable state, but there are some limitations as I work toward the full release. Here’s what you can experience today:

• Two special bullet types to strategize and bring chaos to your games.
• One map, which gives you a taste of the game’s environment and mechanics.
• The ability to pause games, there’s a save system but it is likely to brake often in the next few weeks (so clear some time before diving in!).
• Gameplay is optimized for mouse control, which is currently the only recommended input. Controller support hasn't been tested yet.
• Local high scores only, so your victories will be just for you—at least for now.

Even with these limitations, the core gameplay is there, and I hope you enjoy exploring the chaos that the game delivers.

The Road Ahead 🌟

I have big plans to take Orbital Cascade to the next level for the full release. Here’s a look at what I’m working on:

• Shared leaderboards: Compete with your friends and the wider community for bragging rights! (SteamClouds)
• Solid Save system: Pause, quit, and come back to your game without losing the game file every update
• New special bullets: Adding a couple more to keep gameplay fresh and exciting.
• Controller support: You bought them, so why not use them for something other than gathering dust?
• Polishing and refinement: Better visuals, tighter mechanics, and smoother gameplay overall.
• More maps: Explore a wider variety of settings and challenges.

A Big Thanks 🎉

Your feedback at this stage is invaluable to me. Whether it’s a bug, a balancing tweak, or just your thoughts on the overall vibe, I want to hear it all. Every bit of input brings Orbital Cascade closer to its final form.

Orbital Cascade is playable now, and I’d love for you to give it a try. It’s not perfect yet, but it’s a huge step forward. Let me know what you think and join me on this journey as the game evolves.

Thanks for your support, and stay tuned for more updates! 🚀✨
