Orbix (C64)
A downloadable game
A Commodore64 game
Welcome to the Orbix solar system! Your mission is simple: eliminate all the orange Orbz by launching a ball from the top to clear each level. But it's not just about accuracy-plan your shots carefully, use puzzle-solving skills, or rely on a bit of luck to conquer the game.
Watch out for special elements like:
- Tray: Save balls by targeting the tray.
- Cannons: Catch the balls and fire them in your wanted direction.
- Portals: Teleport your ball to different parts of the screen.
- Lasers: Dangerous, do not touch them or deactivate them.
- Switches: Unlock hidden areas or activate special mechanics.
- Bombs: Cause explosive chain reactions to clear obstacles.
- Gravity swaps: Change the direction of gravity to add a twist to your shots.
- Extra balls: Need some more power, unlock other balls.
- Bumbers: Boost your ball.
Plan ahead, aim wisely, and overcome every challenge to rack up as many points as you can! But be careful-the number of balls is limited. Run out, and its game over.
Scoring system:
The more Orbz eliminated the multiplier rises which multiplies the points.
- Orange orbz: 100 points.
- Blue orbz: 10 points.
- Bonus orbz: 500 points.
- All clear Bonus orbz: 500 points.
- Round score: If the ball is gone you get points for hit orbz.
- Level score: When the level is completed, you get points for remaining balls.

So... Only works on EasyFlash?
I get blackscreen on my real C64 + U1541-2...
it is easyflash only, but was tested with Ultima II a disk version is not possible due to the software design.
I hope other Ultimate 1541-II+ could try and load this game. When I try on my PAL machine all I get is a black screen.
There is workaround in Forum 64: New release: Orbix (C64) - Spiele - Forum64
Perhaps this will be fixed later in the runtime of C
Niiice game! :)
Good job! https://c64universe.wordpress.com/2024/10/27/orbix-2024-fleischgemuese/
Cool game, thank you.
Amazing!! I have not seen such a game for the C64 before. Obviously it's quite taxing for the cpu to do all the calculations, but the game is surprisingly playable. I would love to see a C128 optimized or SCPU compatible version of this one. Great work!
Awesome game. Nice original take on pinball/plinko machines. Cool music and sounds. It will take a while for me to get used to this game, but I love it. Well done.
Edit: I just tried running this game on the Ultimate64, but it seems that the game is not compatible with it. So I'll have to stick to VICE / theC64 for now until this problem can be solved. It is still a great game. :)
