## What is Orbit?

ORBIT is a gravity simulator at the heart of a puzzle game. Launch planets with a flick of your finger, and try to get them into stable orbits around black holes.

Can you make enough orbits to progress to the next level?

New: ORBIT now features a Sandbox (paid) where you can create your own levels! Control time, disable collisions, and paint with gravity. Publish your creations to the world for everyone to play.

• 45 free levels, with new mechanics are introduced over time — like repulsive black holes and planets with their own gravity that attract each other
• Play community-created levels — virtually limitless content made by other players, all completely free
• Launch as many planets as you like, and watch the mesmerizing orbital mechanics unfold
• Planets leave colored traces, so that at the end of a level you will have created a beautiful piece of art
• See the future trajectory of a planet before you launch it
• Play in an environment of smooth, minimalist graphics while listening to relaxing classical piano

### 1/5 — Why did u make the pro😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

*2026-08-16, version 3.0.1*

I need to get the pro to create a new world, but I can’t get it! I hate it! Plez Plez Plez Get rid of that hateful, useless, unnecessary, uneducated, and unhelpful “pro”! I will delete this game AGAIN if u don’t get rid of that “pro”! 🥺 0 stars if I could. And I tried to get the sandbox, but I can’t.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

### 5/5 — Cool game

*2026-08-11, version 3.0.1*

This game is really fun

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2026-08-09, version 3.0.1*

The physics are cool to figure out but the understanding of some of the smaller mechanics might be good to intro before a level, but a solid time passer that is challenging

### 2/5 — BRO PLEASE

*2026-08-05*

I hate the new UI simply because it's basically impossible to navigate. The old UI was simple but effective; you could get to other creations easily. The new one, however, is EXTREMELY CONFUSING. You can't even select what creation you want to go to! Also when you play like the main levels or whatever, if you're already above level 8, you can't go back down because it just throws you straight into the public creations.
Besides, I can't even spawn stuff when the simulation is paused. This is so annoying, man. PLEASE, revert it or at least make the new UI easier to navigate and remove the simulation paused = no more planets thingamajiggy.
Also, WHY DOES IT COPY YOUR CLIPBOARD?!?! When someone enters the app with something in their clipboard, you get a notification saying that the game has copied your clipboard. WHAT IS THIS?!?!?!?! This is spyware!!

### 5/5 — Such a game 🥰🤩🤯👌🦋🪼🌻

*2026-07-25, version 3.0.1*

WOW!!

### 2/5 — Yeah I’m pretty sure he bought a bunch of ratings

*2026-07-20, version 3.0.1*

He updated the game and made it way harder to use and the ratings sky rocketed from 2 star to 5 star with a bunch of fake reviews game hurts eyes to look at cause of visual change

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2026-07-12, version 3.0.1*

.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-07-08, version 3.0.1*

Good for  concentration after getting several planets up in Orbit. 
Nice find at my age over 60.

### 5/5 — Super fun for the physically inclined :)

*2026-07-07, version 3.0.1*

For the other physicists out there,

This is a good one for flights! It’s basically a really well-made physically-accurate orbital mechanics simulator. Stable orbits get you to a next level. All your physical intuition carries over + there are fun unphysical gravitational potentials to make the orbits more challenging and unlike things we commonly see. Super fun!!!

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-07-04, version 3.0.1*

This game sucks more than u
