Inside vs Orbital Bullet
Inside
Inside is 2.5D-like, atmospheric puzzle/platformer where you play as a young boy trapped within a dark project that pushes the human body within the limitations of physics. Being a puzzle game, Inside has some of the most intriguing ones. The goals are often vaguely known rather than being concretely defined by the game, and of course, every aspect of the puzzle is built to push your use and understanding of the game mechanics and your character's (limited) abilities as a boy. Interestingly, there are a lot of water levels for a platformer game, but these levels somehow managed to feel relevant to the overall storyline and spices up the gameplay.Although many have openly criticize the ending of the game, the overall feeling that is evoked by it seems perfect for a game as dark and as unsetlling as this one. If you're ready for a puzzle-platform game that will challenge your brain while at the same time bring out strong emotions, this is the game to play.
Orbital Bullet
Orbital Bullet is a rogue-lite platformer that comes with fast-paced and non-stop action, whether it is shooting at various enemies or stomping them into the ground, while featuring a unique 360˚ view. Play, die and repeat to accumulate points that you can then invest into your character’s talent tree, unlocking access to many useful and permanent perks like self-heal, a shield, and a better starter weapon. There are lots of biomes to discover and play through, bosses to defeat, and loot to collect.Orbital Bullet may seem rather gimmicky at first, and it does have a bit of that, but once you’ve gotten into the gameplay, the game will definitely make you change your mind. Even if you take away its iconic 360˚ feature, you’ll quickly realize that this game is truly an incredible rogue-lite platformer in its own right. Couple that with plenty of unique levels, thrilling boss fights, interesting enemies, and an overall progression that feels satisfying, you end up with a well-polished gem of an indie game!
