Orbly is the world's most satisfying five-second game. Every day, a new circle challenge — the same one for every player on Earth. One attempt. One continuous stroke. Lift your finger and see your score, 0 to 100, graded against the displayed target. NEW IN 1.3 — SATURDAY FLAGSHIP Saturdays now pick from six new perceptual twists — each one rewrites how the canvas works: • Jitters — the phone shakes in waves while you draw. Hold steady through the bursts. • Eclipse — the guide fades the moment you touch down. Commit fast and finish from memory. • Mirage — three identical guides appear. Pick one and trace it. Two are decoys. • Echo — your line lags behind your finger by a variable delay. Draw the future. • Tilt — keep the phone flat. Every degree of tilt costs you. • Mirror — your finger is flipped. Aim for the blue guide; your stroke lands on the gold one. DAILY TWISTS Monday through Friday keep the v1.2 rhythm — calibration, sizing, direction, tempo, Goldilocks — so you always know roughly what kind of day to expect, but never the exact mechanic until you open the app. Sunday gets a harder twist. Same circle for every player on Earth, every day. LEADERBOARDS • Daily, Weekly, and All-Time boards via Apple's Game Center. • Compete globally, or filter to your Game Center friends for a quieter race. • Honest scoring — Kasa algebraic fit refined by Levenberg-Marquardt geometric optimisation. No vibes. BUILD YOUR STREAK • Come back every day to grow your streak. • Pro members unlock Streak Protection — a safety net for the days life gets in the way. • Streak warnings before the daily reset if you haven't drawn yet. PRACTICE MODE • Unlimited free drawing. No pressure, no score submitted. • Freeform scoring — no twists, no penalties. The safe space to learn the gesture. • Works entirely offline. FRIENDS TODAY • See which Game Center friends played today right on the home tab. • Tap a non-Orbly friend to invite them; tap a player to compare. ORBLY PRO One-time purchase, no subscription.
