Orbit

Your satellite's whipping around a gravity well while razor-sharp asteroids close in—how long can you thread the needle?

One button. That's all you get. Orbit drops you into a tight, looping satellite path around a hungry planet, and the only thing between you and a fiery debris field is a single input: tap and hold to brake. Release and you shoot forward along the circle. It sounds forgiving until the asteroid belt shows up—chunks of rock, jagged and relentless, spawn in spiraling clusters that force you to read trajectories at a glance. I lost count of the runs where I thought I had a gap, eased off the brake too early, and got clipped by a spinning shard that had no business being there. The beauty is in the friction. Slowing down feels wrong at first—your instinct says speed is safety—but holding a hair too long drifts you right into the path of a boulder that was aiming for the spot you just vacated. The game rewards micro-adjustments: feather the touchscreen, pulse the brake, and weave through openings that look impossible on paper. Every near-miss leaves a faint afterimage of sweat on your screen. The audio cues (a low hum that spikes as rocks close in) ratchet the tension without ever being cheap. This is arcade minimalism done right—no upgrades, no coins, no mercy. Just you, a satellite, and the cold geometry of survival. If you enjoy high-score chases that punish greed, Orbit will eat an hour of your day before you notice.

- Tap and hold to slow down the satellite. - Avoid the crash with the asteroids

Feather the brake instead of holding it—short pulses give you more control than a long press. Watch for asteroid clusters rather than individual rocks; they spawn in patterns you can learn. Die early on purpose a few times to memorize the spawn rhythm before chasing a real score. Keep your finger hovering above the screen, not resting on it—accidental taps end runs instantly. When a gap looks too small, it usually is. Brake harder and wait for the next rotation.
