Orb

Orb is a video game in the strategy genre originally released in 1999. It is currently playable on Atari ST.

Orb is a free conversion of the puzzle game Sokoban. The objective of the game is to push boxes scattered around a level into the marked spots.

The game has not only converted the game mechanics, but even features the levels of the original game. The addition of Orb are some convenient and innovative approaches to control: left-clicking on a field moves the player to the point if pushing boxes is not required to reach the point. Double-clicking also moves the player to that point and pushes any boxes in the way. Up to four positions can be saved and the player can return to them instantly with the function keys. These functions do not alter the gameplay, but they make the game much faster, as manually moving the player's avatar in Sokoban levels sometimes requires moving repeatedly. Classic joystick control is also supported, as well as an undo function for the last move.

The game is implemented as a system-friendly application, so it can be played even on a multitasking operating system. There are two zoom levels, so even on small monitors scrolling is not necessary (although the game can scroll the maps if necessary).

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
