Dark Orbit
Dark Orbit is an action/role-playing game where you pilot your mining ship through the wind-swept canyons of the tenth planet, Nibiru. An ancient alien species is awakening from deep inside the core, and their numbers are growing by the hour! Your primary goal is simple -- get off the planet alive.
To do this, you will need to use your brain as well as your brawn. There are wrecks out on the surface... hulks of technology that might help you in your grim journey. The planet is also littered with Malidium, a mysterious compound that can be formed into almost any molecular structure.
By collecting Malidium, and scanning in the patterns from salvaged ships, engines and weapons, you can build new items with the Matrix Formers back at your base. You will need every bit of help you can get to escape the Legion of Abaddon!

About This Game
The year is 2150, and the tenth planet of the solar system — Nibiru — has become your prison. You are the sole survivor of a shattered mining colony, and the threat that destroyed it is still very much active: alien creatures are awakening from beneath Nibiru's barren crust, emerging in waves that grow more dangerous with each passing hour. The equipment left behind is crude, but necessity drives ingenuity. Using whatever resources remain, you can upgrade your mining craft into a powerful fighting machine capable of pushing back the alien advance. Five detailed levels span the planet's surface and interior, layered with environmental puzzles, quests, and modular ship upgrades that let you tailor your vessel to the escalating challenge.
