Orbit Hop

A one-button space arcade game. Tap to let go of your orbit, fly in a straight line, and get caught by the next planet. Three sectors, combos, close calls, and zero install.

Open full screenControls: Tap, click, or press Space to let go of your orbit.

Your ship circles a planet on its own. Tap, and it lets go, flying off in a straight line along the tangent of its orbit. Time it right and the next planet’s orbit ring catches you. Time it wrong and you drift off into the cold, slop-free void.

Hop from planet to planet, up through each sector, until you light the beacon at the top. Grab gold stardust for bonus points, chain hops for combos, and skim past asteroids for close-call bonuses.
