Orbitals
Read full descriptionHide full description
Orbitals is a merge puzzle with a twist: you don't just drop pieces ā you spin the whole disc to decide where they land. Rotate the rings, line up matching gems, and watch them merge into bigger, brighter, higher-tier gems. One merge can trigger the next, so a single well-aimed drop can set off a dazzling chain reaction. The longer you keep the cascade alive, the higher you climb. Easy to learn, deeply satisfying to master ā one thumb, and endless "just one more run." HOW TO PLAY ⢠SPIN ā rotate the orbital disc to aim where your gem will drop. ⢠DROP ā release the gem into the ring you lined up. ⢠MERGE ā match three or more of the same gem to fuse them into the next tier. ⢠CHAIN ā set up cascades where one merge sparks another for combo-multiplied scores. FEATURES ⢠A fresh take on the merge puzzle ā rotation makes every single drop a real decision. ⢠7 gorgeous glass-candy gem tiers to evolve, from a humble circle to a radiant star. ⢠Chain combos and cascades for explosive, score-stacking moments. ⢠A global leaderboard ā compete each day, week, and all-time. ⢠Tactile, colorful art and a chilled-out vibe. ⢠One-handed portrait play, perfect for anywhere. ⢠Free to play. Think you can keep the cascade going? Spin, drop, merge ā and chase your best run among players around the world.

A quick game for your spare moments, and a straight test of how fast your fingers really are. Fruit rolls in row after row. Clear it before the clock runs out. Every correct tap buys you time; a wrong tap, or letting any row overflow, ends the run. The longer you last the faster the fruit comes, so how far you get is down to nothing but finger speed and focus. How to play - Fruit fills four rows. Tap the matching button below. - The higher your combo, the higher your score multiplier, up to three times. - Bombs appear from time to time and clear half a row. Well timed, one can save the run. - Boss rounds arrive on a timer. Tap the marked button as fast as you can for bonus points and time. Finger techniques Start at the Qi Gathering Finger and climb through Foundation, Golden, Genesis, Soul Sever and Void, all the way to the Immortal Finger. Every rank has sub-levels and there is no ceiling, so there is always a next one to chase. Also - Thai, English and Chinese, switchable at any time - Close the app and pick up the same run later - One hand, portrait, ready whenever you have a minute
