Orbit is a rare gem that manages to be both a challenging physics puzzle and a deeply meditative experience. The core loop of flicking a planet and watching its trail form a complex, geometric pattern around black holes is hypnotizing. It feels less like a game and more like a collaboration with gravity itself.
The community levels are the real star here. After finishing the 45 base levels, the sandbox and user-created content offer practically infinite gameplay. The minimalist aesthetic—bright colors against a deep black void—makes it one of the most visually pleasing games on the App Store. It’s a perfect example of 'less is more' in game design.

Orbit is a gravity simulator at the heart of a puzzle game. Launch planets to see if they can survive the pull of black holes. The game features 45 hand-crafted levels with increasing complexity, plus a sandbox mode where you can create your own systems. The minimalist visuals and soothing trails make it a highly meditative experience.
45 free levels with unique mechanics
Sandbox mode for custom level creation
Infinite community-created levels
Mesmerizing physics-based visuals
Dark Mode and minimalist aesthetic
Touch the screen and drag to aim. The longer the line, the faster the planet will travel. Aim to orbit the black hole without crashing into it.
In Sandbox mode, you can place your own black holes and planets. Adjust time speed and collisions to create beautiful celestial dances and share them with the world.
Unlike standard black holes, repulsive ones push planets away, requiring different launch strategies to maintain orbit.
