About Kessler: Orbital Incremental
You aim with the mouse and click to fire, and every shot costs one charge of the battery, so early rounds are about picking the targets that will cascade. Each satellite you hit breaks into debris that hits its neighbours, and the mass you collect pays for punched-card upgrades in the maintenance bay between passes. Cold-War-flavoured pixel art, sombre music and radio beeps give it an atmosphere that comments on the page keep praising.
Read the full description
It is a game about what happens if we keep launching too many satellites, told as an incremental rather than a lecture. One commenter found the demo easy enough that the battery rarely ran out and it became a fight against the economy, so expect a relaxed loop rather than a twitchy one; it suits players who like clickers with a theme and a physics toy at their centre.

What is Kessler: Orbital Incremental about?
The Kessler syndrome, as the developer puts it: launch too many satellites and the debris from one collision can set off a chain reaction that destroys the whole orbit. You play the trigger, firing at satellites and growing the cascade.
