Orbz - Scheduled Play Times

Hi Everyone -
Finding players online when you feel like playing Orbz can sometimes be a challenge (pun intended). Quite simply, it's because there aren't enough customers yet and what we call a "critical mass" (enough customers for there to always be someone online to play) is hard to achieve as an "indie". That said, we are working hard on increasing the number of online players and have some announcements coming in the next few weeks which will have a drastic effect on this issue.
In the meanwhile, we wanted to throw out a couple of times each week when developers and other Orbz players will be online working on improving their rank. It would be great to start seeing some regulars during these sessions. We can even add a couple more times if these don't suite everyone's schedule.
Schedule Play Times:
Tuesday at 9PM Eastern
Saturday at 2PM Eastern
Online Orbz matches are getting pretty intense as the skill level of players increase. Orbz is best experienced with highly skilled players fighting for that 25 point marginal victory! Of course, the Solo challenges are a great way to build your core skills and unlock fancy Orbs to show off in Online play.
However, there is nothing like beating a handful of Botz consistently on the harder levels. The experience you gain in competing against Botz directly translates to your skill when competing against humans and is a good way to learn the nuances of each course.
We hope to see you online!
