Orbiter is a precision gravity puzzle where you bend space to your will. Use the pull of planets, stars, and black holes to guide a tiny rocket into stable orbits, chain clever maneuvers, and reach the goal without crashing. How it plays • Drag to set your launch direction, then release to fire • Use gravity to curve your path and settle into orbit • Time your slingshots to slip through tight gaps • Hold orbit or reach the objective to clear the level Features • Realistic 2D gravity and orbital mechanics • Simple one-finger controls • Handcrafted levels with steadily increasing challenge • Fast restarts and a satisfying “one more try” flow • Polished visuals with a clean, minimal space aesthetic Why you’ll love it Every launch becomes a small physics story. Read the field, plan your arc, and pull off the perfect slingshot. Easy to learn, deeply rewarding to master.

About

Sea Drifter

Features
Read full description

Sea Drifter is a 2D top-down ocean survival game about one named ship and the long voyage to rebuild her, from the Coastal Waters to the Forgotten Ocean. Sail out of Port Haven, plunder the cargo drifting on the tide, brave island expeditions, and out-sail — or ram — the pirates who want your hold. Everything you salvage goes back into the same vessel: six keel refits, fittings, relics and masteries that all carry forward. There is only ever one ship. She is yours to lose. — SAIL A LIVING SEA — A full day passes every five minutes: dawn gold, bright noon, amber dusk, deep blue night. Weather rolls between clear skies, rain, fog banks and storms, and the wind genuinely pushes your hull. Pirates see less far at night and in bad weather, so the dark hours are the sneaky hours. — PLUNDER EVERYTHING — Sail close and safe loot scoops itself: driftwood, scrap iron, rations, coin purses, crates, barrels, chests and rare glowing Gilded Caches that often carry a temporary boon. Sealed Cargo is a visible gamble — smuggler's stash, booby trap or pirate bait — that only opens on a deliberate tap. — REBUILD ONE PERSISTENT SHIP — Port Haven's shipyard lays your ship out as a blueprint. Tap a part — keel, hull, sails, nets, cannon, spyglass — to refit or upgrade it. Gold pays the shipwright; wood, iron, food and rare artifacts become permanent fittings. Founder's Keel → Coastal → Bluewater → Deepwater → War Keel → Wayfinder. — ISLANDS, OUTPOSTS & CONTRACTS — Procedurally placed isles run a five-step rail: scout, clear, claim, outpost. Claimed islands produce on their own and ship the goods home. Harbormaster contracts, merchant escorts and treasure-fleet interceptions are always posted at the dock. — HUNT THE ENDGAME — Sink the Pirate King to claim the Heart of the Forgotten Ocean. Then the Drowned Court rises: three Ghost Admirals bound to fog, storm and midnight, a Drowned King in the Maelstrom, permanent trinkets, and New Voyage+ — a fresh, tougher sea with your trophies carried over. — SOLO OR CO-OP — Play the whole voyage alone, or open your sea to friends on the same Wi-Fi for drop-in co-op. No account, no sign-up. Plays fully offline. — AT A GLANCE — • One persistent ship, six keel configurations, dozens of fittings and relics • Fog-of-war Sea Chart, treasure maps that lead to real dug-up gold, live waypoints • Arcade sailing — thrust, drag, turn, ram • Day/night, dynamic weather and wind • Code-composed music and ~20 synthesized sound effects • Local save; autosaves on docking, after expeditions, and on a timer • No ads. No in-app purchases. No tracking.
