Planet Hop

One click. One hop. Miss the orbit and you're lost in the starfield forever—can you chain enough planets to survive?

Planet Hop strips away every control except one. You click. You hop. That's it. But the space between those clicks is where the panic lives. Each planet has its own gravity well, and if you tap too early or too late, your little astronaut just floats off into the dark. No lives, no continues—just your streak and the silence of deep space. At first I thought it was pure reflex. Click when the arrow lines up, land on the next rock, repeat. Then I noticed something weird: sometimes a late click would whip me around the planet's curve and launch me further than a perfect dead-center tap. That little slingshot trick became my whole strategy. You learn to read the orbit lines, to hover your finger over the mouse, to trust the gravity even when your brain screams 'too late!' It's punishing, but in the way that makes you laugh at yourself after the tenth restart. Visually it's clean and minimal—tiny planets, a scrolling starfield, zero clutter. The audio (if I remember right) is just soft whooshes and a low hum that makes drifting feel heavier than it should. There's no story, no upgrades, no quests. Just you, the void, and a high score that dares you to try again. I kept coming back because each run is under a minute, but the chase for one more planet is genuinely addictive. If you like games that respect your time and punish your ego, this one's for you.

Just one Click/Tap to play!

Wait for the orbit ring to narrow before you click—early taps almost always drift wide. A slightly late click can slingshot you around the planet's edge for extra distance. Don't spam click: each hop is one input, so every extra tap wastes your rhythm. Mute the tab if you're on a losing streak—the quiet hum gets in your head. Focus on the next planet's gravity field, not your astronaut, to judge timing. Restart fast: there's no penalty for dying except your lost streak, so don't overthink.
