Sticky Planet

Launch off one planet and slingshot around the next in Sticky Planet — time each tap like a rocket scientist or watch your astronaut drift into deep space.

Sticky Planet strips the arcade formula down to a single button and a whole lot of trust. You're a tiny astronaut stuck to a rotating planet. Tap anywhere and you launch outward in the direction you're facing. Miss the next planet? You float off into the abyss, and the game resets with a quiet, judgmental click. It sounds easy until you realize every planet has its own gravity, size, and orbit speed — and the window to land is often just a few pixels wide. What got me addicted was the rhythm. After a dozen deaths, you stop mashing and start waiting. You watch the next planet swing around, you gauge its pull, and you tap a split second before your orbit line aligns. There's a moment where everything clicks — you chain three jumps in a row, snag a star, and suddenly feel like a space pilot. Then you get cocky, tap too late, and watch your astronaut spin helplessly. Sticky Planet is a masterclass in simple timing mechanics. Stars are the only currency that matters, and they're placed in the most inconvenient spots — just outside safe orbit, near the edge of a gravity well, or behind a planet that's about to rotate away. My advice? Prioritize survival over greed. A clean five-jump run without any stars beats a risky star grab that ends your run in two seconds. It's the kind of browser game you can play with one hand, but don't be surprised if your other hand is clenched into a fist.

Controls: - Tap/Click anywhere to launch from the planet - Time your jumps to orbit around planets - Collect stars for points - Dont drift into space!

Delay your tap until the target planet's edge just touches your current orbit line — early taps send you wide. Small planets have tighter gravity, so land closer to their center or you'll bounce right off. Stars respawn each run; if one looks impossible, skip it. A long streak beats a single shiny pickup. Use the first two or three jumps to learn each planet's rotation speed before attempting long gaps. Never tap while mid-orbit if you're not facing the next planet; wait for the natural rotation to line you up. Play with sound on — the subtle click when you land is a better timing cue than the visual.
