Orbitals is a two-player co-op puzzle adventure where you play as explorers Maki and Omura, braving the perils of space to save their crumbling station home. Co-op works in local split-screen on one console or online, and the game supports GameShare plus a Global Friend's Pass, so a second player can join with a single copy. It is designed around two players using tools and gadgets together to open new pathways.
