One orb. Two rings. One tap. Orbinaut is a pick-up-and-play arcade game about staying alive. Your orb races endlessly around glowing neon rings — tap anywhere to hop between lanes, dodge the spikes, and grab gems for bonus points. Every run starts gentle and gets faster, until one wrong hop ends it all. Simple to learn, hard to master. Rounds last under two minutes, restarts are instant, and your high score is always on screen daring you to beat it. HOW TO PLAY • Tap anywhere to hop between the inner and outer ring • Dodge the spikes — one touch ends your run • Collect gems, grab the rare bonus star, and ride the shield • Survive as the speed climbs and the rings shift colour FEATURES • One-touch controls anyone can pick up — great for all ages • Daily Challenge: one shared board for the whole world, every day • Level up every 20 points as the rings change colour and the pace rises • REVERSE rounds that flip your direction (always with a warning!) • A shield power-up that lets you bulldoze through spikes • Crashed?
