The only local multiplayer game that lets you challenge 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... up to 12 players at once on just one screen. One smartphone or tablet is all you need. • Competitive local multiplayer for everyone at once. Anywhere. On anything. • 4 vastly different game modes to choose from • Setup takes seconds, even for 12 players at once • The basic mechanics are simple and can be taught to a group quickly • ...yet they provide you with a lot of room for mastery and competition • Works just as well for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6… players as it does for 12 You can choose from 4 very different game modes: ○ Arena Fill the arena with spheres of your own color and avoid those of your opponents. A bullet hell game that constantly grows more intense. ○ Multiball (Teams) Kind of like football, but with exploding goals and multiple balls at once, which change color all the time. Teamplay is more important than mastery. ○ Trails Collect spheres to grow longer than your opponents. Then block their path and pay attention to your own. And should the other players try to keep their distance, just fling your spheres at them. ○ Blizzard (Teams) Think tennis. But you have to defend against a whole shower of spheres at once, and send them right back where they came from. Whether you prefer playing local multiplayer versus or as a team, defensively or offensively, competitively or in utter chaos, anything is possible. Even so, 12 orbits requires only one button per player. This makes it easy to learn and teach others how to play it, yet it still provides a surprising amount of control for perfectionists. 12 orbits is a local multiplayer game for many players at once. But of course, you can also start off with a smaller group. All game modes automatically adjust to 2 players just as well as to any other number: 3 players, 4 players, 5 players, 6 players, 7 players, 8 players, 9 players, 10 players, 11 players, and of course 12 players can all easily compete with each other. Just try it out! The free version comes with all of the features and no more than a few ads. No micro transactions, no sharing of your data, and no unnecessary permissions. If you enjoy 12 orbits and would like to support me in its development, you can buy an ad-free version right here, in the Store. Thank you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Maneuveration at none against 12 orbits's 1. Maneuveration also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). 12 orbits's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 69%) and ratings volume (41 vs 2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 12 orbits sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Maneuveration asks for nothing beyond the download.
Maneuveration holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 12 orbits has 41 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Maneuveration's written reviews are positive against 91% of 12 orbits's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Maneuveration ships an update every 3 weeks, 12 orbits every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
