Orbitum is a hypnotic rhythm-based reflex game of light and darkness. "It's surprisingly difficult to leave alone - very hypnotic." - Pocket Gamer "A stylishly stripped-back and curiously serene arcade experience that has you running on a particularly hazardous cosmic treadmill." - Pocket Gamer "It’s the perfect little game to pick up and play when you have a spare moment." - AppAdvice The rules are simple: switch the orbits, survive against all odds and keep calm. A tap is all it takes to get through. But you’ll discover less is more when your dexterity starts to be put to the test. Starting off fairly simple and gradually building up into something quite fiendish, the game will keep your grey matter ticking over in unison with the stimulating techno sounds. Appearing out of nowhere and vanishing in darkness, the round-dancing shapes will make your head swim, hands sweat and teeth clench. But as you get the rhythm you will see that there's nothing more satisfying than the feeling of genuine achievement after you've nailed another hellish level. ○○○ More from Happymagenta: · Spyglass - outdoor GPS with augmented reality · Scany - WiFi scanner and network utility

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Golf Odyssey at 4.7 against Orbitum's 2.9. Golf Odyssey also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 73). Orbitum's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Golf Odyssey holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Golf Odyssey has 4.4K ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Orbitum's written reviews are positive against 65% of Golf Odyssey's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Orbitum ships an update every 6 months, Golf Odyssey every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
