Read full description

Welcome to Orbit: Space Needles, the ultimate test of precision, patience, and timing! Embark on a minimalist sci-fi journey where your goal is simple, but mastering it is intensely challenging. Tap the screen to launch your space needles into the orbit of a rotating celestial core. But be careful! Space is crowded. If your needle touches another needle or space debris already in orbit, your mission fails. HOW TO PLAY: • Tap anywhere on the screen to launch a needle. • Lock all your needles into the planet's orbit to clear the level. • Do NOT hit any other needles! FEATURES: • Hundreds of Unique Levels: From simple slow-rotating planets to chaotic, multi-directional black holes. • Dynamic Physics: Adapt to sudden speed changes, reverse rotations, and stopping mechanics. • Minimalist Sci-Fi Art Style: Clean aesthetics combined with immersive space sound effects. • One-Tap Controls: Easy to learn in seconds, incredibly hard to master. • Play Anywhere: Offline gameplay, no internet connection required! Do you have the steady hands and sharp focus needed to beat all the levels? Lock your first needle into orbit and find out!
