Orbit's Odyssey is a new puzzle game from Paperkyte where players must run away from robots on various tiny planets. The object of the game is simple, run around a rotating sphere to collect gems. As you advance in the game the planets gain rotating rings that transport you back and forth to different points when you cross them. This is where the game gets tricky because you can only run forward or slowly drift backwards with the rotation of the planet. Running forward into a ring will transport you in one direction, and drifting backwards will transport you the opposite way. You have to keep running in circles until the planet drifts close enough to the main gem so you can nab it and advance to the next level. The entire time you must avoid touching multiplying robot zombies.
