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.

FAQ
Good questions.
Is Orbwick free?

Does it need an internet connection?
No. The game makes no network requests at all. It works in airplane mode, forever.

Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
1. The short version
Orbwick is an offline single-player game. We do not collect, transmit, sell or share any personal information. There is no account, no sign-in, no advertising SDK, no analytics SDK and no third-party tracking of any kind.
2. Information we do not collect
We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, location, advertising identifier (IDFA), device fingerprint, IP address or any gameplay telemetry. The app does not request access to the camera, microphone, photo library, contacts, motion sensors or location services.
3. Information stored on your device
Orbwick saves a small amount of data locally so the game works the way you expect:
- your best score;
- your sound and haptics preferences;
- whether you have already seen the tutorial.
This data is stored in the app's private sandbox using Apple's standard preferences storage. It never leaves your device, it is not backed up to any server operated by us, and it is removed automatically when you delete the app.
4. Network activity
The app itself performs no network requests. If you tap a support or policy link, your device opens the link in your default browser; that website is operated separately and its own privacy policy applies.
5. Purchases and advertising
Orbwick contains no advertising, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions and no loot boxes. Nothing in the game can be bought, and there is nothing to unlock with real money.
6. Children's privacy
Orbwick is suitable for all ages and is rated 4+ on the App Store. Because we collect no data whatsoever, the app complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the GDPR provisions on children's data and Apple's guidelines for apps aimed at young audiences. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13.
7. Your rights
Privacy laws such as the GDPR and the CCPA give you the right to access, correct, delete or port your personal data. Since we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to disclose or erase. Deleting the app from your device deletes every piece of data Orbwick has ever stored.
8. Data security
All game data stays inside the app's sandbox, protected by the operating system's own app-isolation and device-encryption features.
9. Changes to this policy
If a future version of Orbwick adds a feature that requires data processing (for example online leaderboards), this policy will be updated before that version is released, and the update will be described in the App Store release notes.
