Orbit Lock is a precision puzzle game built on the principle of orbital resonance — the phenomenon that keeps moons, planets, and star systems in gravitational harmony. Each ring is an orbit. Each dot is a celestial body drifting along its path. Spin the orbits. Lock each body into alignment. Achieve syzygy — the perfect configuration where every element aligns and the system holds. Miss by a fraction and resonance breaks. The orbit decays. 25 levels across five stages of deep space — Deep Ocean, Cosmic Violet, Stellar Fire, Electric Aurora, and Prismatic, an endless mode where gravitational complexity has no ceiling. Rings spin faster. Orbits multiply. Auto-rotating bodies demand split-second timing. Time limits compress the window of alignment. Six original ambient tracks shift with every stage. Spatial audio designed for headphones places every lock and every orbital collapse in 3D space around you. Daily challenges with global leaderboards. A 50-tier Orbit Pass with exclusive orbital effects and themes. Four tactical boosters — bend time, shield against decay, reveal the Lagrange point, or double the gravitational yield. Real-time nebula rendered with Metal shaders. No pay-to-win. No orbital shortcuts. Embrace the Drift.

Arc Lock is a fast arcade timing puzzle built around one simple rule: tap at the exact moment the ball meets the gap. Each level surrounds you with spinning arcs. Watch the motion, find the opening, and lock each arc with a perfectly timed tap. Miss the gap and you lose a life. Chain accurate locks to build combos, climb higher, and push your score further. PLAY YOUR WAY Classic Mode tests how long you can survive as arcs get faster and trickier. Zen Mode gives you a calmer space to practise without pressure.
