Orbit is a one-tap planet hopper. Your little blob circles a planet; tap and it lets go, flying off along its orbit in a straight line. Reach the next planet's gravity ring and you're caught, orbiting the way you came in. Planets stack up into space, some drift side to side, some have spiky asteroids circling them, and no orbit lasts forever.
How to play Orbit
- You circle a planet automatically. Tap anywhere to let go.
- You fly straight along the dotted aim line. Reach the next planet's dashed gravity ring to get caught.
- Every planet you reach is a point. Skip one by flying straight to the planet after it for a bonus.
- Don't wait too long: your orbit slowly sinks and the planet glows red before you crash.
- Miss every ring and you drift off into space. Red spiky asteroids end the run too.
Tips to get a high score
- Watch the aim line, not the planet: tap when the line points through the next ring.
- Get caught right on the gold dotted orbit for a PERFECT, and chain them for a climbing streak.
- Moving planets: aim where the planet will be, not where it is.
- Asteroids sit on the gravity ring's edge. Time your entry for the gap between them.
Daily levels and ghost races
Every day Orbit has a new daily level that's the same for everyone. While you play, you race translucent “ghosts” — real replays of other players and your friends. Beat a score, then send a challenge link so a friend can race your ghost on the exact same level.
FAQ
Which way will I orbit the next planet?
The way you came in. Pass to the left of a planet and you'll circle one way; pass to the right and you'll circle the other.
Why did I crash into my planet?
Orbits decay. After a few seconds you sink toward the surface (the planet flashes red), so jump before that happens.
Is it free?
Yes. Every Tapamine game is free to play in your browser with no download and no account.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Tapamine is built for phones first: portrait, one thumb, and it works offline after your first visit. It also works with a mouse or the spacebar on a computer.
How do challenges work?
After a run, tap “Challenge a friend” to send a link. Your friend plays the exact same level and races your ghost — a replay of your run — to see who wins.
