What is Orbend?
orb + bend — bending the orbit.
Orbend is a mobile arcade game about using a planet's gravity as a slingshot. It is played with one finger and understood in seconds; mastering it takes a few hundred orbits.
The mechanic
Hold anywhere and the ship thrusts that way. Planets pull at a real 1/r² force, so a burn at the right moment sends you looping around one for free speed, and a burn at the wrong moment puts you into its surface. Collect stars for score, break asteroids with the laser, and keep the combo chain alive.
Hyperspace
Cross the score gate and a warp tunnel drops you in a fresh system: new planets, new hazards, faster asteroids. Meteor showers begin at level five, then pulsar beams, gravity storms, and the rare black hole.
How we build it
Orbend is made by an independent studio under three rules:
- No ads. Nothing interrupts a run.
- No pay-to-win. Every item can be earned by playing, and the secret ships are only ever unlocked by achievement.
- No data resale. Minimal collection, a policy written in plain language, and account deletion in a single tap. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
Under the hood
A native 60 FPS canvas renderer, real-time trajectory prediction sharing the same physics code as the simulation, cloud saves and a global leaderboard. One codebase, built mobile-first for iOS and Android.
