About Orbtrex

You control a small ship fixed at the center of the screen, using your mouse to rotate it and aim. Your main job is to survive waves of geometric enemies that close in from all sides. You click to fire a steady stream of projectiles, trying to clear space before you get overwhelmed. The key mechanic involves destroying certain enemies to release glowing orbs, which you then have to collect by moving your ship's line of fire over them. These orbs grant temporary power-ups, like a wider shot. The pace is constant, and the difficulty builds steadily as more enemy types appear. It feels like a tense, focused scramble to manage the encroaching chaos from every angle.
