About

Orbit Gravity Runner

Features
Read full description

Don't fall in. Don't drift out. One finger. Hold to thrust away from the star, release and gravity pulls you back. That is the entire control scheme — about ten seconds to learn, a very long time to master. The twist is that danger IS the reward. The closer you fly to the star, the more everything is worth. Skim the corona and orbs pay up to 12x. Play it safe out wide and they pay 1x. So every second is a greed decision. Nothing ever stops to ask "do you want to risk it?" — you answer that continuously, with your thumb. There are two ways to die and you are always about a second from both. Fall in and you burn up. Drift past the boundary and you are gone into the cold. The atmosphere drags at you the lower you fly, and it thickens the longer you survive, so a good run never settles into a rhythm. It gets harder while you are flying it. FEATURES • One-touch control. Hold, release, that is it. • A multiplier that scales with danger — up to 12x down on the deck • Skim bonuses that pay you the instant you take the risk, not later • A chain timer that rewards moving between altitudes instead of camping one • DAILY RUN — one seeded layout per day, identical for every player worldwide • Daily missions, and eight ship trails to unlock • Instant restart. No menus between attempts. Built for one hand, one thumb, and one more try.
