Description: You follow a message from an unknown contact to the secret underground lab of Orb Labs to find evidence of “questionable experiments” conducted there. However, you soon have to discover that the whole complex is protected by deadly laser systems that will try to kill any intruder. Luckily for you, you can use Orb Labs’ own weapons against them: orbs. Sneak through the lab, avoid being seen (well, and shot at), and descend all the way to discover the truth!
Review: Orb Labs, Inc. is an action game in which you will need to dodge a load of killer lasers as you go about your exploration. This is of course not as easy as it sounds and you often need to use a lot of strategy to get from one area to another. You get about by throwing different coloured orbs around. So blue to teleport (to the location you have thrown it), red ones for a barrier to protect you and yellow ones as a decoy. I have to say that this game is way better than I thought it would be and while the current asking price of £6.19 might seem a little high you get a good 4-5 hours of gameplay here. It is well worth a look and one of those little hidden gems in the Steam store.
