Planetary Orbit is a minimalist one-tap arcade game set in a mesmerizing solar system. You orbit a glowing planet. Tap anywhere to release — your dot flies through space. Catch the next planet before you drift into the void. THE GAME • Tap to release from orbit and fly toward the next planet • Land on it to score a point and keep your streak alive • Miss the next planet and you disappear into space • The world scrolls upward continuously — idle too long and you fall off the screen • Speed and difficulty increase as your score climbs VISUAL THEMES As you play, the sky, planets, and trails evolve through stunning visual themes. Seven handcrafted worlds to discover: — Aurora: cool greens and teal in a northern night sky — Volcanic: fiery reds over a molten horizon — Deep Ocean: deep blues beneath a twilight sea — Neon City: electric purples and magentas at midnight — Dusk: warm ambers and gold under a fading sun — Night: crisp whites and deep blues in the quiet dark — Dream: soft purples and indigo in a cosmic dreamscape TRAILS Leave a signature trail as you orbit: — Classic: a clean, elegant arc. Always free. — Comet: a wide luminous tail with a glowing core — Rainbow: a color-shifting spectrum that cycles as you fly MUSIC A generative ambient soundtrack evolves with the game — no two runs sound exactly alike. THE CHALLENGE Orbit speed increases every 5 points. Planet gaps grow wider. One mistimed tap ends everything. Simple to learn. Hard to put down.
