About In Orbit

In Orbit is a gravity puzzle: you launch a body into space and the planets pull it as it travels, so a shot that looks wrong can curve into exactly the right path — and a shot aimed straight at the target usually misses.

It's the slingshot manoeuvre as a game mechanic, and once it clicks, planning a three-planet arc is genuinely satisfying.

How to play In Orbit

Aim and launch
Click and drag, then release
  1. Aim your launch and set the power.
  2. Gravity from nearby planets bends the path.
  3. Use that pull to curve toward the target.
  4. Reach the goal to complete the level.

In Orbit tips

  • Aim past the target, not at it — gravity does the steering.
  • A slower shot bends more; a faster one flies straighter.
  • Use the largest nearby body as your turning point.
  • Watch the failed attempt's path; it tells you which way to adjust.

In Orbit — questions

How does gravity work in the game?

Every planet pulls the moving body toward it, more strongly the closer and larger it is — so trajectories curve, and you aim around obstacles rather than through them.

What is a gravity slingshot?

Using a body's gravitational pull to change your direction and speed without spending fuel. It's a real spaceflight technique and it's the core mechanic here.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes — drag and release. Nothing to install.
