Enter the gravitational flow of Orbinity. Orbinity is a minimalist, physics-based arcade game where timing is everything. You are a lone orbiter traversing an infinite, procedurally generated universe. Your mission is simple: survive the void. Locked in the gravitational pull of colorful planets, you must wait for the perfect moment to tap and launch yourself to the next celestial body. NOW WITH TWO GAME MODES: ◉ CLASSIC MODE The original zen-like survival experience. Launch too early, and you spiral into the abyss. Launch too late, and you miss your target. Patience and precision are your only tools. ◉ TIME ATTACK MODE Feel the rush in this fast-paced race against the clock. You start with 10 seconds on the timer. The countdown never stops, but every successful orbit grants you +1 second. Hesitation is fatal—move fast, stay accurate, and beat your high score. FEATURES: ◉ SIMPLE ONE-TAP CONTROLS Easy to learn, impossible to master. Just tap anywhere on the screen to break orbit and fly. The intuitive controls make it the perfect game to play with one hand, whether you have five minutes or an hour. ◉ ENDLESS PROCEDURAL UNIVERSE No two runs are the same. Orbinity generates unique planets with varying sizes and colors every time you play. Adapt to changing orbit speeds and distances as the game progressively challenges your reflexes. ◉ SATISFYING NEON AESTHETICS Immerse yourself in a sleek, dark sci-fi environment illuminated by vibrant, pastel planets and your orbiter’s glowing cyan trail. Experience smooth 60fps gameplay that looks stunning on both iPhone and iPad. ◉ GLOBAL LEADERBOARDS Compete against the world with integrated Game Center support. Chase your personal best or aim for the #1 spot on the global leaderboards for both Classic and Time Attack modes. ◉ INSTANT RESTART Mistakes happen. When you drift off course, see exactly where your trajectory failed, then jump right back into the action immediately. No loading screens—just tap to fly again. Calculate your angle. Trust your instincts. Defy gravity. Download Orbinity today and find your flow.
