Read full descriptionHide full description
Lost in deep space without friction or tether — can you calculate the trajectory back to safety? Orbit Grid is a tactical zero-gravity sliding puzzle game where every directional swipe sends your astronaut gliding continuously across the cosmos until an obstacle, another crew member, or a designated docking pod halts their drift. Beware: with no boundary walls, a single miscalculated thrust can send your crew drifting into the deep void! KEY FEATURES: • ZERO-GRAVITY TRAJECTORY ENGINE: Master momentum and inertia. Slide up, down, left, and right, calculating stop points and coordinating precise paths across dense orbital grids. • TWO-ASTRONAUT TACTICS:: Coordinate multiple astronauts (Orion & Nova). Maneuver one crew member to act as a dynamic stopping block for the other to reach previously unreachable docking coordinates. • PROGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN: Advance through diverse orbital sectors ranging from compact 5x5 tactical drills up to massive, brain-bending 9x9 void labyrinths. • PRECISION & O₂ CONSTRAINTS: Plan ahead to beat the PAR move count and conserve critical oxygen supplies. Earn stars by executing flawless, optimal routes. • MINIMALIST SCI-FI AESTHETIC: Immerse yourself in clean vector visuals, atmospheric space ambient soundscapes, and intuitive tactile swipe controls. No clocks, no timers — pure tactical logic. Chart your course and bring your crew home.
