Orbit: Playing with Gravity

Orbit: Playing with Gravity is a gravity simulator built around a puzzle game. You launch planets with a flick of your hand and try to place them in stable orbits around black holes. Create enough orbits to progress to the next level.

Levels and mechanics

The game includes 45 free levels, with new mechanics introduced as you progress. These include repulsive black holes and planets with their own gravity that attract one another. You can launch as many planets as you like, see a planet’s future trajectory before launching it, and watch its orbital motion unfold. Planets leave colored traces, creating an image by the end of each level.

Sandbox and community levels

In the Sandbox, you can make your own levels, control time, disable collisions and paint with gravity. You can publish your creations for others to play, as well as play levels made by the community; these offer virtually limitless content and are free.

Presentation

The game uses smooth, minimalist graphics and includes relaxing classical piano music.
