Leave a Review Orbit
Well done Chetan
This game is very well made, the music is great as well and the fluidity of the entirety game… I love hopping on and just letting my mind at ease whenever I open this app, I used to play on my older phone and have since downloaded it on my new one as well (and that says something because not many apps will make the transfer like that) overall it’s an amazing app and if you haven’t tried it you definitely shouldShow lessAidman Cambillius
Fun to Use and Educational
Yes, it is the best app to use if your on a long car ride. And it is good for someone who’s fidgety.
It’s also very educational to someone who’s not familiar to orbital mechanics.
For example,
I learned how tidal locking functions and why Roche’s Limit is a thing
But I really think you should add some sort of “space mode” to have a black background, perhaps with some stars, and the ability to turn it off or on in the preferences tab.
It would make no sense to have an orbital mechanics/space themed app that has a white background, considering that the speed of light is finite.
And “black holes” that have repulsive gravity should be white, since that fits the description of a white hole, maybe a bit darker than the white background to enhance it’s visibility.
It would be cool if users could have access to comments in sandbox mode, and if anyone is being naughty there can be a report button, like with the exhibits and levels (if you even acknowledge the reports)Show lessLoveSpaceAlot
I enjoy playing this game
I love the soundtrack in the background as it creates this calming atmosphere while you’re trying to create orbits around planets, black holes, etc. it makes you think. And yes the ads could be viewed as annoying but I don’t mind because it gives you the option to get rid of them to support the developer by chance so they can make new games. 10/10 thanks for creating this unique introspective gameShow lessgabriel hi peeps
Pretty, smooth, needs more levels
This minimalist game plays nicely and looks great. It’s main shortcoming is the relatively small number of levels built into the app. As of this writing there were 45 levels included, and while that might sound like a lot, many of them are solvable in under a minute. A level editor is available as a $3 in-app purchase, and there’s some facility for sharing levels, but that doesn’t make up for the paucity of included levels. More game elements and alternative goals would be welcome, as would a dark mode.Show lessFive-Ten
What I’ve been looking for for a long time
I’m a research assistant with the focus of our research being on numerical solutions to black hole chaotic systems, and I whole heartedly approve of this game.
It captures so many interesting aspects of the many body problem in such a simple yet meaningful way, and it’s available in a way that’s both accessible and enjoyable to all. I applaud the developer for making something like this, I’ve seen many attempts to do something like this but never one executed so well and with excellent attention to detail. It serves as a landmark of scientific education and communication gone well, even if it wasn’t trying to.
Kudos where kudos is deserved, keep up the great work!Show lessAeopca
Nice idea, but laws of physics seem off
Liked the app very much and it is the most entertaining app I have, even bought the full pack. But laws of physics seem to not be enforced. In couple examples of repulsive black hole traps a single planet can cease to move over time, which contradicts to momentum conservation. If you create just a single black hole And let a planet revolve around, the orbit presses. That can only happen in non spherical gravity field. If you create two black holes without motion, disable collisions and let them fall to one another, they eventually fly to infinity after a single interaction. That all can be explained by movement computation done on time interval basis, not every length certain step in space being calculated. I think, author needs to pay more attention to realism i on f the gameShow lessI100min
Oh my god!
This game is amazing it’s so relaxing and runs smoothly, there is nothing I would change. This game is amazing but there is a limited amount of levels created for the “story mode”, I do understand that you have to take a long time to make each level. The levels are also easy beatable if you just spam planets. I do understand why there is a price on the “sandbox mode” but I do thing that the should be a free trial so you can experiment with the physics. Other than those things I would highly recommend this game to anyone, I have also tried playing other games like this and nothing even comes close to this game. Once again this is an amazing game, props to you creators.Show lessBrad975385477
Ridiculously hard
I don’t know if it’s the mechanics and I don’t know it but the game doesn’t seem logical, a planet that orbits good the first 3 times all the sudden splinters off and goes into the sun (or moon into planet). Can’t do the figure 8 well. Did once and it only orbited once or twice and went into the sun. It wasn’t close to the suns to do that
Then times you get 6 planets for one or more suns without being able to zoom in or out leaving just a ridiculously small screen as a play hoping nothing crashes
The planets are odd. Sometimes they crash and other times they collect. Two planets crash and go into the sun and another time I had up to 5 planets right next to each other orbiting around the sun.
Just be consistent and for people who don’t understand gravity or physics, have better directions. Have better lines or get a thing that makes a larger line (like most puzzle pop bubble type games), like in each level have them do a thing and show them exactly how to do it. It’s a good concept and great development with the coding but it’s honestly somewhat of a poor execution.Show lessGothicAquaKittyAnimeFan
This game is so much fun
I love this game and I have only been playing it for 2 days I am on level 6 I love the puzzles and patterns they make. They look so cool! On day 1 I couldn't get past level 2 but today I am on level 6 this game is so much fun and I think people who love challenges would love it. The only thing I think can be a little bit annoying sometimes is that from level 2 you start getting levels with attractive planets but It is okay I think it is very unique it has only been a little bit annoying in level 6 with the attractive planets and not having them collide with the other planets but it is really fun I love it so much!Show lessA&W&C
So Relaxing
This is the perfect game, and I do not say that lightly. The concept is simple, the presentation is elegant, and the music sets the tone very well. I’ve had no issues running this on my phone, and I love sharing flawless orbits on Twitter. There’s something very mindful and philosophical about our place in the universe when you watch two worlds collide and plummet into a black hole. If you’re not pondering the delicate nature of our existence you’re entranced by how oddly satisfying this is. You could slip some mind controlling subliminal messages in this and I don’t think I’d care or notice.Show lessdarktownmax
