Orbit is a one-tap rhythm arcade game. Two dots circle the centre while walls close in with the music. Tap to reverse direction and guide both dots through the gaps. Learn the timing in Story mode, then chase your best score in Endless. Choose Calm for a gentler pace, Standard for the main challenge, or Supernova when you want to push your reflexes. Keep rotating in one direction to charge a Flow Shield. It can absorb a hit, or you can hold to spend the charge on slow motion. Read the next wall and decide when to turn. WHAT YOU CAN PLAY - 92 Story stages and 20 boss fights across four acts, with up to three stars to earn on each stage. - Endless runs through 17 phases, with all-time and weekly global leaderboards. - Daily challenges and a separate Boss Rush gauntlet. - 29 obstacle types, including rings, sweepers, mines and gravity wells. - Practice mode to work on individual obstacles. The minimalist playfield keeps the gaps in view. An original soundtrack sets the pace, from the opening patterns to the later boss fights. Headphones help you hear the beat. PLAY OFFLINE Once the music has downloaded, you can play offline. Leaderboards, cloud saves, purchases and rewarded videos need an internet connection. OPTIONAL ADS AND PURCHASES Orbit is free to play. Ads are optional rewarded videos for an extra continue; there are no banner ads or forced interstitials. Optional purchases include Orbit+ and coin packs for cosmetics and extra continues. There is no energy system or waiting for lives to refill. Start another run whenever you want.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: baut. at none against Orbit's shown. baut. also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). Orbit's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
