Orbituary
They landed. Earth is next.
You’re the boarding action.
ORBITUARY is a twin-stick arcade shooter in the spirit of Dead Ops —
except the dead are aliens, and the arena is their vessel.
Play as Sergeant Diver: one operative sent into the alien ship,
limited lives, and whatever firepower the decks leave behind.
Waves of hostiles. Bosses that hold each sector. Pickups that can
turn a losing fight into a massacre.
═══════════════════════════════════════
TWO MODES
═══════════════════════════════════════
- CAMPAIGN — Four waves per map, then a boss. Clear the ship sector
- by sector. Beat the Juggernaut and shut down the invasion.
- ENDLESS — Random map. Infinite waves. Enemies scale. Multi-boss
- packs every five waves. Juggernaut at wave 50. How long can you last?

- Pistol
- Shotgun

- RPG — delete a room
Power-ups

═══════════════════════════════════════
- Windows (.exe)

Keep sprites/, sfx/, and maps/ next to the game so everything loads.

BROWSER / HTML DISCLAIMER
═══════════════════════════════════════
The web build loads sprites, maps, and audio from folders next to
index.html. That can take a moment — especially on slower connections
or first launch.
If art or sound is missing at first:
- Wait a minute or two while assets finish loading, OR
- Start a run, die once, and return to the menu — loading continues in the background and usually catches up after a short session.

Make it count.
