Tap to ignite Boosty's thrusters and the shimmering mach diamonds flare as you punch against gravity's pull. Fly into blue energy orbs, dodge dangerous golden energy, and complete your mission through the stars. Boosty is a handcrafted blend of arcade action and real cosmic wonder — featuring astrophotography captured by space enthusiast Solarspin. Every glowing nebula, star cluster, and galactic swirl you see is real imagery from our shared night sky. You’re not flying through pixels — you’re exploring the Milky Way itself. **Blast Mode** A real shooting arcade game mode! Tap with 1, 2, or 3 fingers to fire Boosty's energy defense. Collect purple Stars to get Stardust to buy better defense tools. Add your high scores to the Trophy leaderboards. How high can you take Boosty Spaceship? **Gates Mode** Golden force fields loom like plasma monoliths; brush one, and the run crashes in a burst of emitters. Then the game restarts for another mission. But don't worry if you crash a few times, Boosty can help! Turn on Autopilot and Boosty will take over control with you to show you the safe paths. **Orbs Mode (default)** is a forgiving frenzy. Golden force fields won't end your flight, but they'll nick your glory if you graze them. Elusive blue orbs, spawning randomly in the voids like hidden quasars. Snag one anywhere for 1 point; center it perfectly, and boom—+2 immediate bonus, a surge that lights up your run like a supernova. **Stars Mode** Planetarium mode ** This is a serene autopilot mission where tension melts away into wonder. No taps demanded as Autopilot fires the engine for you. You rack up "light-years" every so often because, hey, space is vast. But those orbs? They propel you 2 light years ahead in a flash. It's stargazing therapy, clocking 100+ ly in a lazy session while the galaxy unfurls in parallax splendor. **Boosty's Autopilot**, a smart copilot born from aerospace dreams. Featuring a real-time robot brain that constantly simulates tap paths with discrete gravity physics and beam-search pruning logic. It is a miniaturized rocket guidance system, rejecting bad trajectories on the fly. It rate-limits rocket boosts to save fuel (no thrust-spamming frenzy), it biases toward stability when horizons clear, and it navigates obstacle mazes and reversing gravity flux with microsecond timing. Flip it on, lean back, and watch Boosty turn your wipeouts into balletic dances through the stars. It's not cheating; it's teamwork, bridging your arcade taps with Boosty's pilot precision. **Chaos Mode**—Watch out! Gravity reverses direction without warning, pulling Boosty up and down in heart-stopping whiplash. This is difficult for your normal human brain to deal with. It's not normal. Do you have the skill and reflexes to handle it? This is where Boosty's autopilot shines! It adapts on the go. Can you? This is not pre-programmed. Every run is random chaos. Even the rocket scientists at NASA will need the help of Boosty's autopilot for this mode. Or post a high score from Chaos mode and we will all cheer for you! Brag about your triumphs with a swipe across the Boosty title logo at the top of the screen. That is the secret switch to show the retro local high-score sheet, 3-letter initials only, channeling '80s arcade ghosts. Will you beat ZZZ's or DAD's tally? Will you get on the local leaderboard? Tap the Trophy icon at the bottom and Apple's Game Center leaderboards are shown. This is where players meet to have global duels, snag badges for orb marathons, and post High Scores. Real physics, real galaxies, sparkling booster engines, and chaotic thrills await. Step into Boosty’s cockpit, fire those rockets, and see how far you can fly. Boosty is counting on you!

Merge planets. Birth black holes. Orbit Collapse is a cosmic twist on the merge-puzzle game you already love — simple to pick up, endlessly satisfying to master. HOW TO PLAY Drop planets into orbit and merge two of the same kind to create the next one up — from drifting Stardust all the way to a collapsing Black Hole. Chain merges together for massive combo bonuses, but watch the danger line: let the board overflow and it's game over. FROM STARDUST TO SUPERNOVA Climb a twelve-tier cosmic ladder — Stardust, Asteroid, Comet, Moon, Mars, Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, the Sun, Supernova — and finally, a Black Hole. Reach it and it doesn't just vanish: it stays on the board and keeps devouring, growing more powerful the longer it survives. THREE COSMIC POWERS Earn power charges through combos and use them when you need a save (or just want to show off): • Mini Black Hole — devours nearby planets, growing as it feeds • Alien Strike — mark multiple planets and watch them zapped in sequence • Cosmic Shuffle — clears the board and rains it all in fresh A NEW CHALLENGE EVERY DAY The Daily Challenge gives every player on Earth the exact same board — same drops, same meteor showers — all day long. Finish a run to keep your streak alive, and compare your score on a leaderboard built just for that day. CHASE THE LEADERBOARDS Compete on Game Center leaderboards for your all-time best score and the daily board. A DARK, ATMOSPHERIC SOUNDTRACK An original synthesized score sets the mood — sustained analog pads, deep bass, and a driving low-register pulse. Play with the volume up. Orbit Collapse is free to play, with optional ads that never interrupt a run in progress, and a one-time Remove Ads option for players who want it uninterrupted.
