Orbitals is a cooperative puzzle-adventure video game released in 2026 by Shapefarm and published by Kepler Interactive. It launched worldwide on September 3, 2026, for the Nintendo Switch 2. The game features Maki and Omura as they journey through space to stop their station from being destroyed by a dangerous storm.

Players take on the roles of either Maki or Omura in split-screen multiplayer, completing puzzles using various tools. Between puzzle segments, players manually control the ship’s weapons and systems while navigating the vessel's interior. This area includes interactions with non-player characters and minigames.

The game was created by Marcos Ramos and Jakob Lundgren, who aimed for a short and approachable experience focused on puzzle-solving. Lundgren had previously worked as a level designer at Hazelight Studios. To distinguish Orbitals from Hazelight’s titles, the team chose to emulate 1980s anime aesthetics, collaborating with an anime production company for cutscene animation.

Reviews praised its gameplay and setting, particularly highlighting its retro anime-inspired visual design.
