Orbwick

One thumb. Endless orbits.

Your ember circles one of three orbits around a dying lantern. Tap to leap outward, gather embers to build your multiplier, and slip past the thorns that never stop moving. One mistake ends the run — and the next one is a single tap away.

The game

Three orbits. One ember. No second chances.

Orbwick is built on a single rule: your ember always travels at the same speed. That means inner orbits spin fast and outer orbits feel calm — and every hop changes how much time you have to read the field.

◎

Tap to hop

One input. Each tap moves you one orbit outward, then back to the centre. No jump button, no dash — only where you are and when you move.

✦

Chain to ×9

Every ember raises your multiplier and keeps the chain alive for a few seconds. Collect back to back and the score climbs fast.

△

Read the thorns

Red arcs sweep around each ring in both directions. Touch one and the run is over. The gap is always there — you just have to see it in time.

How to play

Learn it in ten seconds.

No tutorial walls, no timers, no lives. Three rules and you are playing.

Tap to hop

Your ember circles one of three orbits. Tap anywhere on the play field to leap to the next orbit. It always travels outward, then wraps back to the centre.

Gather embers

Pass through the small lights to collect them. Each one raises your multiplier, which stays alive for a few seconds — keep collecting to reach ×9.

Mind the thorns

Red arcs sweep around the orbits. Touch one and the run ends instantly. They spin in both directions, so read the gap before you hop.
