Pocket Gamer's Peter Willington writes: If developer Laughing Jackal could be said to have a signature style, it's this: simple game concepts in well-made packages.
Orbit – the studio's latest Minis offering - is no exception, delivering a physics-based collectathon that's easy to understand and richly rewarding when mastered, if lacking in replay value.

Orbit is a gravity simulator at the heart of a puzzle game. Launch planets with a flick of your hand, and try to get them into stable orbits around black holes.
PureXbox:
You have to hand it to recently formed Norwegian developer 4Bit Games; getting your first title straight onto the Xbox One store is no small achievement, especially when your company had no prior games industry experience. Orbit is a retro-styled space brawler which combines the intensity of four-player multiplayer battles with the intricacies of navigating space flight, whilst avoiding incoming asteroids and working with or against the gravity of celestial bodies.
Maneuver your ship between planets at breakneck speeds and take gravity into account as you crush your competitors with an epic spaceship arsenal. Use special abilities like shields and teleportation to defeat your enemies, and level up between fights as the madness intensifies in this twin-stick multiplayer space brawler!
