The Academy

Orbital Academy Seven is where your training begins. The early courses introduce movement, turns, gaps, and more advanced commands one idea at a time. PROCTOR, the resident training AI, has a course to run and very little patience for distractions.

The Terrapin

Beyond the Academy, the course moves into a ship. Corridors branch, bulkheads block the obvious route, lasers reward careful planning, and battery-powered runs ask you to think about more than distance.

Pick your personality

Different looks, different voices, the same command rules. Your choice of robot is cosmetic.

Crash
An eager Academy crash-test chassis. Enthusiasm comes standard.
Vega
A precise navigator with a dry sense of humor. Every move should count.
Brick
A heavy-duty loader and gentle giant, unlocked by completing the Academy.
Pixel
A bubbly retro service unit. The Academy’s old terminals might hold a clue to this unlock.

Frost Outpost

On an ice moon, snow-covered cargo lanes and broken decking turn every route into a careful expedition. RUN covers ground quickly, but a slippery stop can undo a good plan. Ice Cleats give you another way to tackle the challenge.

The Scrapyard Belt

Push deeper into the Frontier among salvaged machinery and asteroid wreckage. New obstacles ask you to make more of the commands you already know.

The full adventure

Full launch will include 100 levels and a complete story mode. The Academy is only the beginning: follow the mystery beyond the Terrapin, Frost Outpost, and the Scrapyard Belt into places still to be revealed.
