Pull back, let go, and bend your probe around a gravity well into the wormhole. The fewer flicks it takes, the better your score. Orbitfall is space golf with real gravity. The aim line only shows the start of your curve โ€” never where you land โ€” so every shot is a read, not a trace. Miss and you can recall the probe instantly and try the line again. FIVE REGIONS, FIVE NEW RULES โ€ข First Light โ€” clean launches and steady gravity โ€ข Ember Reach โ€” dense fields with several wells pulling at once โ€ข Reverse Field โ€” repulsors that shove the probe away โ€ข The Drift โ€” wells that orbit, so timing matters โ€ข Eventide โ€” boost gates and everything combined Every sector is checked for at least two clean solutions before you ever fly it, so there is always a line to find. DAILY ORBIT โ€” FREE, EVERY DAY Five sectors, the same five for every player worldwide. Your total flicks is your score, fewest wins, and the day's board is there without an account. KEEP A FLIGHT RECORD Lifetime flicks, per-sector bests, stars, medals, and unlockable probe trails. Share a card of your exact shot so a friend can watch the line you flew. WHAT'S FREE The first 12 campaign sectors, the full Daily Orbit and its leaderboard, medals and trails. No ads. Plays offline. GO PRO A one-time unlock or the StackForge Play Pass adds: โ€ข The rest of the campaign โ€” every sector past 12 โ€ข Hardcore โ€” fly the campaign with no aim preview at all โ€ข Weekly Gauntlet โ€” a ranked seven-sector run with its own board โ€ข Flight Log โ€” replay your best launch for each cleared sector, plus your career totals The Play Pass unlocks Pro in every StackForge game, plus One Good Thing.

About

Word Search

Features
Read full description

Word Search is a themed word puzzle game. Find the hidden words on the board, then tap any one of them to read what it actually means. There are 132 stages, each with its own theme โ€” Coffee Shop, Birds, Baking, Airport, Vikings, Planets โ€” and ten levels inside each one. That comes to 1,320 puzzles. Boards start at 5ร—5 and grow to 9ร—9, hiding between 6 and 14 words. Early stages keep every word running across or down; later ones open up diagonals and words written backwards. A word, and what it means Every answer carries a real dictionary definition, and there are more than 3,400 of them. Tap a word in the list beside the board to get its part of speech, its meanings and an example. Trace out a real word that happens not to be on this level's list and the game tells you it is a word, instead of just buzzing at you. A new puzzle every day The daily puzzle is a different board each day, and it is not a square: the letters sit inside a diamond, a heart, a tree, a star, a globe or a key. A calendar keeps every day you have played and lets you go back through previous months, and finishing enough days in a month pays out hints. How hints work You start with three. A hint lights up the first and last letter of one word you have not found yet. To get more, you can watch an optional video or reach the monthly goal on the daily calendar. Hints never expire, and no level is on a timer. Made to play anywhere Puzzles are built on your device, so every level works with no connection. Leave a board half-solved and it is waiting exactly as you left it, clock and all. There is no sign-up, no login and no profile โ€” your progress stays on your device. Settings you can actually change Dark mode, two background music tracks, sound effects and haptic feedback, each switched on or off on its own.
