About The Orbital Defender
Defend the orbit with a swipe. Redirect incoming meteors into each other or into enemy ships. Swipe across incoming shots to reflect them, tap a threat to fire from your core, and defeat each sector guardian to advance. Changing events keep every mission moving. Choose a power core with its own passive and ultimate ability. Pulse unleashes a field-clearing burst. Chimera transforms into four combat forms, while Aegis Forge deploys hardlight constructs and a mastery-locked sentry. Learn each core's timing and find the style that suits you. Earn Star Dust in missions to unlock stronger cores. Build your lifetime score to earn cosmetic skins, then take on the same challenge with a look that shows your progress. Chase a new high score, survive another guardian, and see how far your run can go.
