Orbital Artillery is a turn-based space combat game that combines the classic artillery gameplay of Pocket Tanks with the gravitational physics of Gravity Wars. Command a fleet of starships in tactical orbital battles where gravity, positioning, and weapon selection determine victory.
Destroy all enemy ships before they destroy yours. The last fleet standing wins!
Each player commands a fleet of 6 ships:
Each ship has its own pilot with a unique name and portrait.
Every 5 turns, you can unleash a Full Barrage - ALL your ships fire simultaneously! After the barrage, you get a bonus shot before your turn ends.
Ships can move or warp to reposition during battle. Each ship has limited moves per game.
Planets and black holes exert gravitational pull on projectiles. Use gravity to:
Paired portals that teleport projectiles (and ships) across the map.
Projectiles wrap around the top/bottom edges but are blocked by left/right walls.
Choose 5 weapons before each battle from a diverse arsenal including:
| Weapon | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Plasma Bolt | Standard | Reliable energy projectile |
| Heavy Shell | High Damage | Slow but devastating |
| Scatter Shot | Multi-hit | Splits into fragments |
| Homing Missile | Tracking | Seeks nearest enemy |
| Laser Beam | Fast | High-speed precision |
| Cluster Bomb | Area | Explodes into bomblets |
| EMP Blast | Shield Damage | Extra damage to shields |
| Gravity Bomb | Special | Creates temporary gravity well |
| Nuclear Warhead | Massive | Huge explosion radius |
| ...and more! |
Weapons have limited ammo - choose wisely!
Ships have regenerating shields that absorb damage before HP is affected. Shields appear as a glowing barrier around ships.
When a ship's HP reaches zero, it explodes spectacularly with debris and shockwaves.
