After almost 20 months of development, Orebits is finally available on Steam!

Orebits is an atmospheric active incremental game about working as a lone asteroid miner for a greedy corporation at the edge of known space.

Smash alien asteroids with bouncing Mining Tools, build powerful synergies in a roguelite Upgrade Tree and venture deeper into the unknown as you uncover strange artifacts and the mysteries of deep space.

Orebits is NOW AVAILABLE!

To celebrate the launch you can grab Orebits with a 10% launch discount!

Welcome to the asteroid belt

The full release of Orebits takes you through a 12 sector campaign at the edge of known space. Unlock new Mining Tools and upgrades, experiment with different builds, meet ever increasing corporate production demands and find out what exactly is hiding out there.

Finish the campaign and you'll unlock Interstellar Operations, where you can continue mining far beyond our solar system.

Orebits was made by just the two of us, mostly on Fridays. If you enjoy the game and would like to support us a little extra, we've made a couple of optional extras.

20 months of Friday development!

It's pretty surreal to finally write this.

We've been making Orebits for almost 20 months, mainly on Fridays. For most of that time it was just the two of us building, testing and endlessly tweaking our strange little asteroid mining game.

Now we're suddenly watching creators play it, seeing videos appear online and realizing that Orebits is actually going out into the universe.

That's incredibly exciting. Also pretty terrifying.

We have no idea how the game will be received. We just hope you enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Thank you to everyone who played the demo, sent us feedback, wishlisted Orebits or followed us along the way.

Happy mining!

Maarten & Bob Upgraded Studio
