Orbit (Jolly Jack)
Flying through the rain, orbiting around the light... A portrait for your experience.
There are hidden easter eggs in the level... can you find them all?
Orbit is a Moderate difficulty level created by Jolly Jack. It uses a mainly black and white color scheme, and is the second level of Jolly Jack's Monochrome level collection.
Layout
Start
The level opens with a white flash, as three large squares move across the screen diagnoally. This attack is repeated a few more times, with different angles and inverted colors for each. The screen cuts to black and fades back in as a square appears in the center, which attacks with rings of bullets as it grows.
Checkpoint 1
The background becomes gray as rain is visible. Three butterflies made of triangles fly across the screen from the left. A flash of white is followed by a square appearing in the center of the screen, which shoots out lasers from each side while occasionally rotating. A set of spinners appears from the center as well, and pulses appear around the center of the screen.
Checkpoint 2
A month and date - June 14 - appears onscreen, rewinding back in time as the screen grows brighter. A square appears in the center and attacks by sending out four more squares, before all of them grow in size - forcing the player to dash into the middle. This is followed by a brief animation showing Jolly Jack's logo between the Project Arrhythmia heart and the Geometry Dash logo - with the latter being destroyed. Three square pulses appear onscreen, creating a glass breaking effect. The checkpoint finished with an attack covering the center followed by each edge of the screen.
Checkpoint 3
Walls appear on all sides, as a spinner in the center gradually grows in size. It is replaced by a square that attacks with a shockwave followed by lasers. The names of Jolly Jack's levels Come With Me and Dare appear, followed by this level's title - Orbit - as the next section begins.
Checkpoint 4
The screen scrolls to the right with a set of rectangles and squares serving as obstacles. The rectangles slam into each other on every other beat, while the squares rotate in place and change size. After the obstacles are offscreen, the colors invert and the screen scrolls back - playing the same pattern in reverse.
Checkpoint 5
A tree with no leaves appears in the background. The three butterflies from earlier in the level float onscreen and land on it, before flying off as it disappears.
The credits for the level then roll, visible in the cone of light from a projector. After they finish, the level ends with Jolly Jack's logo.
