Orbit Rush
Orbit Rush is a fast-paced, endlessly replayable arcade game where gravity is both your enemy and your greatest opportunity. Your mission is simple: keep your planet in orbit around a massive black hole for as long as possible. The closer you stay to danger, the faster your score increases — but one mistake and you’re pulled into oblivion.
It’s easy to start, difficult to master, and perfect for quick play sessions or long leaderboard grinds.
Gameplay Overview
At its core, Orbit Rush delivers a minimalist, score-based arcade experience. There are no complicated mechanics, no long tutorials — just pure timing, precision, and risk management.
You control a small planet orbiting a powerful black hole that constantly drags you inward. The longer you survive while avoiding hazards, the higher your score climbs. However, as time passes:
Obstacles move faster
Patterns become less predictable
Reaction windows shrink
The pressure intensifies
Every second survived feels earned.
Core Mechanics
The black hole constantly pulls your planet inward. Your only defense? Perfect timing.
Press and hold to push your planet outward.
Release to let gravity pull you back toward the center.
Balancing this push-and-pull mechanic is the entire game. Stay too far out and you lose scoring efficiency. Drift too close and you risk instant defeat.
The closer you orbit to the black hole, the faster your points increase — creating a constant risk-versus-reward decision.
Game Controls
The game keeps things beautifully simple:
On PC:
Left Mouse Button – Push away from the black hole
On Controller:
A Button – Orbit control
On Touchscreen Devices:
Tap and Hold – Push outward

The one-button control system makes the game accessible to beginners while still offering depth for high-score chasers.

Strategy Tips for Higher Scores
If you want to push your limits:
Stay slightly closer to the black hole than feels comfortable.
Avoid overcorrecting — small, controlled movements work best.
Learn obstacle patterns instead of reacting blindly.
Focus on rhythm — the game rewards smooth timing over panic clicks.
The best players treat each orbit like a controlled dance with gravity.
