About

OrbFun

Features
Read full description

Orbfun is a fast-paced arcade game where you control a glowing orb with your finger. Dodge, chase, and survive through five thrilling game modes — each with its own unique twist. YOUR ORB, YOUR RULES Drag your finger to move your orb across the screen. Enemy orbs spawn from all directions and chase you relentlessly. The longer you survive, the harder it gets. FIVE GAME MODES • Avoid Orbs — The classic survival challenge. Enemy orbs spawn every few seconds and hunt you down. How many can you dodge before they catch you? Your score is the number of enemies on screen. • Hit Orbs — You've got 30 seconds. Smash into as many enemy orbs as you can before the clock runs out. See your final hit count and miss count at the end. • Target Practice — Enemies chase the targets, not you. Guide enemies into the square targets to score points. But watch out — if an enemy touches YOU, it's game over. Build up your multiplier for massive scores. • Proximity — Live dangerously. The closer you get to enemies without touching them, the faster your score climbs. Risk and reward — one wrong move and it's over. • Puma Mode — Enemies spawn right next to you and bounce off the walls. They start slow but the spawn rate accelerates. A frantic test of reflexes. FEATURES • Beautiful particle effects with glowing orb trails • Smooth 60fps gameplay • Timer tracks your survival time across all modes • Vibrant menu with animated floating orbs • Instant restart — jump right back in after each game • No ads. No in-app purchases. Just pure arcade fun. Do you have what it takes to master all five modes?
