## What is Near Orbit?

Take command of orbital traffic in Near Orbit, a fast arcade strategy game built for short runs and high-score chases.

Ships arrive from every edge of the screen. Draw a route for each one, match it to the correct colored docking port, and keep the lanes from crossing at the wrong moment. A clean plan can turn into chaos when new ships spawn, routes converge, and asteroid warnings flash at the edge of the field.

Score by docking ships safely. Build combo chains by keeping the traffic flow moving. Clear quotas to advance levels, earn achievements, and open new planet orbits from the inner system to Neptune.

Features:
- Draw-to-route touch controls
- Four dockable ship classes with different speeds and sizes
- Matching color docks around an orbital station
- Live conflict warnings before collisions
- Asteroids and tumbling space junk
- Unlockable planet locations
- Per-orbit records, achievements, and Game Center support
- Designed for play without accounts, ads, analytics, or tracking

Near Orbit is easy to understand, tense to master, and always one bad route away from a messy orbit.
