ORBA
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Sprint through five distinct floors as you fight to reach the top of the Tower. Rely on tight movement, sharp reflexes, and quick decision-making as you ascend under constant pressure. Unlock new Lucky Charms, discover faster routes, and refine your runs as you chase the fastest time to the top.


Collect Lucky Charms during your ascent to gain random abilities and power-ups that boost your speed, enhance your mobility, or protect the fragile Orb at critical moments. Choosing when to use them adds an extra layer of strategy to each run.


Race against recorded Ghosts of other players to compete for the fastest climb. Study their routes, challenge their best times, and push your limits frame by frame as you fight for a top position on the global leaderboard.

Will there be a Mac port?
Sorry for the late response. We currently do not plan a Mac release. I don't have any Mac device to test on. I might look into that in the future, but I cannot promise anything.
