Orbit Hopper is a gravity-based space arcade game where you slingshot a rocket between planets on an epic cosmic journey. Orbit. Charge. Launch. It's that simple — but mastering it takes real skill. Your rocket automatically orbits each planet it lands on. Hold to charge your launch power, aim using the gravity-curved trajectory, and release to fly. Land on the next planet with pinpoint accuracy to earn Perfect, Good, or OK ratings that multiply your score. CAMPAIGN MODE Blast through themed worlds — from rocky wastelands and frozen tundras to neon cities and deep void dimensions. Each zone brings new visuals, music, and atmosphere.
