The first real 3D Black Hole ever in a game! Augmented Reality Space Game: When space is our only chance to survive, we need to explore our solar system, in this augmented reality (AR) space simulation game, in a hope we're gonna have the answers to save our species from impending extinction. There's someone or something out there who left clues and ways for us to contact, but why? Do we wanna know? We have no choice, WE HAVE TO KNOW! ========= VISUALLY STUNNING You're gonna feel like a live IMAX movie theater experience. We pushed AR its boundaries in this game with the perfect balance between, cinematic graphics and best performance. INNOVATIVE CAMERA SYSTEM Our innovative camera system is like nothing in AR so far. Change perspective, yet, but it's still gonna work and feel as the default AR camera (device live camera). No spoilers here. Just download this game and you'll be stunned. 3D SPATIAL AUDIO In this game, space speaks with you. Your position in the real world affects the audio you hear. Just like in real life, you can hear your surroundings. You can listen to "see with your ears" where a strange object is, maybe orbiting close to you. Maybe an explosion nearby. You have to listen to space. IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING This is just the beginning. We plan on expanding the game in future update, with new stages and features. And you will get it without the need to pay more for it. ======== **If you enjoying playing the game, please consider leaving a review on the App Store.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Big Factory! at Free against ORBIT AR's $0.99. Big Factory! also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 5). ORBIT AR's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 12%) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Big Factory! holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Big Factory! has 1.2K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of ORBIT AR's written reviews are positive against 12% of Big Factory!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ORBIT AR ships an update every 2 weeks, Big Factory! weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
