   As you can see on the main page we've announced that our new mystery game is Orbit.

   Now I wonder if I can persuade everyone to let me run with "Probe Uranus with Laughing Jackal" as a tagline :)

   can't complain, those jokes will probably end up in the game in some form.

   The title of this thread should have been "Laughing Jackal Launches Orbit" imo. I'll keep an eye on this.

   @Balrog Good point. I'll steal that for future use :)

   @Everyone else There's so much you can do with Uranus jokes. With that and Ghostlight releasing Trails in the Sky I'm enjoyong a chance to make dirty jokes.

   Ross: "Come get your hands on our TitS while we explore Uranus together!"

   Next scene: Ross gets arrested for suspected prostitution.

   By the way, the obvious name for Orbit's sequel will be "Escape Velocity."

   Laughing Jackal posted a trailer last week for Orbit on their YouTube account: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLQcSoa_V0w.

   The game looks great, don\'t see any release date for it yet though.

    Expect a bit more about Orbit next week if we can solve some time travel related issues.

    ... you mean last week. LOL
    ;)

    P.S. From the vid it looks like the hit-box is quite small... always a good thing.

    Only a few days left until Orbit is released now. :D

    I was re-reading the release post on LJs blog:
    

    We have lift off! Orbit will launch on the 6th December in North America and the 7th December in Europe for PlayStation Plus members who will be able to pick it up for free for two weeks after which it will go on general release for the low, low price of £2.49 / $3.49.

    Does this mean Orbit is a PS+ exclusive (ie. only available to PS+ members for the first 2 weeks of launch) OR is it a PS+ freebie (ie. PS+ members pay nothing for 2 weeks while everyone else pays £2.49 / $3.49)?

    Im thinking its the former which means another 2 weeks of waiting. :<

    Yes it\'s PS+ exclusive for the first two weeks. Works the same way as OMG-Z.

    Haven\'t dropped by earleir today because I\'ve been insanely busy but just a reminder that North american PlayStation Plus users will be able to get their free copy of Orbit tonight. Europeans until tomorrow.

    Checked the US Store last night and we had a 4.42 user rating from 122 reviews, which was a nice surprise.

    The EU Store had a 4.69 rating but from only 13 reviews, but so far, so good! :)

    Has anyone in the pspminis.com community given it a shot yet? We\'d love to hear from you.

    i rate it 4.5 before purchase, unlikely to go any lower than that... playing it when i have the time, too many games to play.

    I just got around to trying it myself. I\'m liking it so far, mind you I\'m an \"upgrade\" whore. :)

    Hey guys,

    While you\'re waiting on the non-PS+ version to materialise, here are some reviews we\'ve had for Orbit so far:

    Orbit review at PushSquare.com
    
    Orbit review at Videogames Source
    
    Orbit review at Save Point (translated via Google from the original Spanish)

    So far so good I guess! ;)

    Cheers,

    Al \'Carrot Dangler\' Evans

    This game is so great. I\'ve put hours in so far trying to get every achievement. I don\'t have the time to play much now though as I\'m trying to beat as many games as I can before christmas, I still have some games from last christmas to beat and platinum.

    I have to get this! I own every Laughing Jackal game (with the exception of Duael Invaders. Just haven\'t got round to it yet... but I will.). Out of all the Mini Developers out there, you guys have gotten the most money out of me. Keep up the great work guys. ;)
