ORBIT is a gravity simulator at the heart of a puzzle game. Launch planets with a flick of your finger, and try to get them into stable orbits around black holes. Can you make enough orbits to progress to the next level? New: ORBIT now features a Sandbox (paid) where you can create your own levels! Control time, disable collisions, and paint with gravity. Publish your creations to the world for everyone to play. • 45 free levels, with new mechanics are introduced over time — like repulsive black holes and planets with their own gravity that attract each other • Play community-created levels — virtually limitless content made by other players, all completely free • Launch as many planets as you like, and watch the mesmerizing orbital mechanics unfold • Planets leave colored traces, so that at the end of a level you will have created a beautiful piece of art • See the future trajectory of a planet before you launch it • Play in an environment of smooth, minimalist graphics while listening to relaxing classical piano Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/highkeygames Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/highkeygames

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Orbit at 94% against Physics Box Game's 50%. Orbit also leads on ratings volume (7.6K vs 1). Physics Box Game's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Orbit sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Physics Box Game asks for nothing beyond the download.
Physics Box Game holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Orbit has 7.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Orbit's written reviews are positive against 50% of Physics Box Game's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Orbit ships an update every 2 months, Physics Box Game every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
