description Orbital Bullet Overview

Orbital Bullet is a 2021 roguelite action shooter developed by SmokeStab and published by Assemble Entertainment. Its distinguishing mechanic is the use of 360-degree cylindrical stages that wrap around the player's view, combining side-scrolling combat with a circular level design that allows continuous movement around the environment. The game features procedurally generated levels, weapon crafting, and permadeath, with fast-paced gunplay in a science-fiction setting. It was released for Windows on Steam and GOG, targeting players who enjoy skill-based shooters with roguelite progression systems.

help Orbital Bullet FAQ

What does the 360-degree mechanic mean in Orbital Bullet?

Levels are circular, so the player runs and shoots around a cylindrical arena instead of moving across a flat left-to-right screen. Projectiles travel around the 360-degree path, making enemies above, below, and behind part of the same fight. [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1167680/Orbital_Bullet/)

It entered Steam Early Access on April 22, 2021, and the full Steam release followed on March 21, 2022. SmokeStab developed it and Assemble Entertainment published it. [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1167680/Orbital_Bullet/)

What carries over after you die in Orbital Bullet?

Runs use permanent death, but you can spend Nanobytes after a death on permanent upgrades and skills. The game also has four classes and procedurally generated planets, so each run changes while some progression remains between attempts.

Is Orbital Bullet on Nintendo Switch or Xbox?

Yes, it launched on Nintendo Switch in November 2022, and the Xbox store lists the game as available for Xbox. Steam also carries the PC version, so the circular shooter is not limited to Windows. [Steam community announcement](https://steamcommunity.com/app/1167680/allnews/)
