Orbit: Planet Hop Adventure

Orbit is a one-tap space game. You orbit a planet, tap the screen and fly off along the tangent. If you reach the next planet's ring, you stay in its orbit. Planet to planet, from Earth to the black hole at the centre of the galaxy.

There is nothing else to learn. But the orbit shrinks while you hesitate, so you can't wait for the perfect moment: you have to decide.

A JOURNEY THROUGH REAL SPACE

• 101 real places, in the order they come closest to Earth: the Moon, Mars, the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and exoplanets like the seven worlds of TRAPPIST-1, under a meteor shower.
• At jump 98, Gaia BH1, the nearest known black hole. At jump 100, Sagittarius A*, at the centre of our galaxy.
• Past that jump the known map ends and you enter the Orbit galaxy: worlds you won't find in any catalogue.
• Many worlds come with a real fact on screen, so you pick up some astronomy while you play.
• In the higher levels the planets move, and you have to choose your moment.
• Story mode: Teo talks to you over the radio while you play (voice in Spanish, subtitles in English) and guides you to the centre of the galaxy. Every transmission is kept in the BLACK BOX.

BOSSES AND SPACESHIPS

• A stop with a fight every 12 jumps: a pirate scout, bases to defend, a battleship that takes aim at you, two cores that must not fall, the octopus ship and its whiplash, a heavy battleship and, at jump 96, the mothership with its drones. Never the same one twice in a row, and each one is explained before it starts.
• The Current, a river of rocks you dodge by tapping left or right.
• 30 ships you earn by playing, plus trails and extras in the shop, all paid with in-game points. Every advantage comes at a cost, and none of them changes how you score: a record is worth the same with the starting ship as with the last one.

EVERY DAY

• The daily route: the same for everyone, with a borrowed ship and no boosts. If you like, an evening reminder tells you a new one is waiting.
• A logbook with the bestiary of little aliens and the atlas of the worlds you've visited.
• A card to share your daily route score and challenge your friends to beat it.
• Pick your music: Rotor, Electro, 8-bit Retro or just the pulse.
• Nine languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Catalan, Portuguese, Japanese and Korean.

THE CURRENT VERSION

No ads and no purchases, no account needed, no data collected, and it plays offline. It asks for three permissions: vibration, which you can turn off in Settings; notifications, only if you turn on the daily route reminder (one a day, in the evening, and you can turn it off in Settings); and knowing when the phone restarts, so that reminder can be scheduled again. Your progress stays on your phone.
