About game
Logic puzzle fans who enjoy physics will find Orbits a refreshing test of patience and skill. You pilot small ships through deep space, aiming to harness gravitational pull to reach your destination. Setting the perfect launch angle and force is your primary task before hitting the fire button. Once released, your vessel glides through complex gravitational fields that constantly threaten to pull your ship off course. Planets act as obstacles or slingshots, requiring you to calculate every trajectory with extreme precision. Success hinges on keeping your craft within the capture zone until the level timer locks in. You will likely find the narrow margins of error addictive once you start mastering the physics. Play Orbits for free in your browser right now without any downloads.
