Play with everybody

12 orbits is the only local multiplayer game for 2-12 people at once, no matter what you play on. If you can read this, be it on a PC, a laptop or even a tablet, you probably have everything you need. Additional controllers are supported, but not required unless you prefer to have a little more elbow room.

The game can be set up in seconds, even for 12 players at once. Rounds take about 5 minutes each. 12 orbits is friendly, competitive and a little chaotic. It is simple enough to quickly teach a group how to play it, but varied and deep enough to keep them entertained for a long time.

You can choose from 4 game modes, two of them for teams, with each one focused on a different playstyle. All of them adjust to any number of players from 2 - 12, so you can start small and add players as they come along.

Features

  • Competitive local multiplayer for everyone at once. Anywhere. On anything.

  • 4 vastly different game modes to choose from

  • Setup takes seconds, even for 12 players at once

  • The basic mechanics are simple and can be taught to a group quickly

  • ...yet they provide you with a lot of room for mastery and competition

Game Modes

▶ Arena
Fill the arena with spheres of your own color and avoid those of your opponents. A bullet hell game that constantly grows more intense.

▶ Multiball (Teams)
Kind of like football, but with exploding goals and multiple balls at once, which change color all the time.

▶ Trails
Collect spheres to grow longer than your opponents. Then block their path and pay attention to your own. And should the other players try to keep their distance, just fling your spheres at them.

▶ Blizzard (Teams)
Defend against a whole shower of spheres at once, and send them right back where they came from.

FAQ

My keyboard / touchscreen supports only 3 – 5 inputs at a time.
Will this even work?

Yes! 12 orbits needs only one button per player, and never requires button mashing or keeping that button pressed down. This makes it highly unlikely for too many buttons to ever be pressed during the same frame, even with 12 players at once.

Is there a colorblind mode?
Yes. It is based on black and white symbols, so it should work for any type of color blindness.

Since this is a one-button game, does it also support One Switch inputs?
Yes, including the menus. More information on this can be found here

Its lasting appeal is very limited and I fell out of it after a while. The simple look and similarities between the different modes caused my friends to get bored quickly. I really can't see this being the creator's true intentions.

You're never going to rush home to play 12 Orbits, but at only $1.99 it's a fantastic game to keep on your Switch for the next time you've got friends over for a party. Playing with 12 people may not be optimal in portable mode with everyone crowded around the Switch (where the frenetic action is hard to follow in some game variations anyway), and it's a shame there's no online play available. Assign your Joy-Cons to a few pairs of players and let them gather around the TV, however, and the dip will likely get cold well before the fun runs out.
