Indie developer ThinKING Cat Games has announced Orbit to Riches, a new idle / incremental space game, alongside the launch of its Steam page. A playable demo is planned for next week.
Orbit to Riches is an Idle / Incremental game focused on destroying asteroids that orbit a planet in dense rings with a Ship. Players collect resources, upgrade ships, and unlock new powers for mining asteroids.
Each Ship lasts around 20–60 minutes, but all progress feeds into a larger meta-system. While the player controls one ship directly, other unlocked ships can be assigned to idle mining, generating resources in the background for long-term upgrades.
The project began as part of a prototype a week challenge on itch.io, where Orbit to Riches stood out as the most promising concept and is now being expanded into a full Steam release with improved visuals, additional ships, and deeper progression systems.
A free demo will be available on Steam next week. A rough prototype version is currently playable on itch.io.
