Roman Uhlig has brought the competitive local multiplayer game 12 orbits to the Nintendo Switch, where you can use the touchscreen or Joy-Cons to add as many players as you’d like. Additional controllers are not required. 12 orbits for Nintendo Switch is out now, worldwide.
Play with everyone. Anywhere, anytime.
12 orbits is colorful, friendly, fun, and sometimes a little chaotic. You will score goals, color spheres, defend your territory and try to grow as long as possible in 4 varied game modes, versus or as teams.
To actually allow for up to 12 players at once, and to make sure anyone can join in quickly, everything is as simple as can be. There is only one button per player, every game mode can be explained in three sentences or less, and there are never more than two possible actions to worry about. Any type of controller can be used to add multiple players, and if need be, even the touchscreen alone will do.
However, "simple" does not mean that everything is easy. The controls give you plenty of room for mastery, the game modes require strategy and teamwork to succeed, and since it is not always possible to change your direction, you will have to plan ahead as far as you can. Not just for yourself, but also for your opponents. 12 orbits is a skill-based, competitive game, with simple rules and only one button per player.
Play in big groups, or start small.
You don’t need 12 players to play 12 orbits. This isn’t about testing how many people you can physically place in one spot. It’s about always being able to play with everyone who is around. 2 is enough, and 4 is already perfect. This is very much a multiplayer game though. You’ll be able to practice the controls alone, but not much else.
