Orbiter is a precision gravity puzzle where you bend space to your will. Use the pull of planets, stars, and black holes to guide a tiny rocket into stable orbits, chain clever maneuvers, and reach the goal without crashing. How it plays • Drag to set your launch direction, then release to fire • Use gravity to curve your path and settle into orbit • Time your slingshots to slip through tight gaps • Hold orbit or reach the objective to clear the level Features • Realistic 2D gravity and orbital mechanics • Simple one-finger controls • Handcrafted levels with steadily increasing challenge • Fast restarts and a satisfying “one more try” flow • Polished visuals with a clean, minimal space aesthetic Why you’ll love it Every launch becomes a small physics story. Read the field, plan your arc, and pull off the perfect slingshot. Easy to learn, deeply rewarding to master.
