Report an issueOrbitum is a hypnotic rhythm-based reflex game of light and darkness.
"It's surprisingly difficult to leave alone - very hypnotic." - Pocket Gamer
"A stylishly stripped-back and curiously serene arcade experience that has you running on a particularly hazardous cosmic treadmill." - Pocket Gamer
"It’s the perfect little game to pick up and play when you have a spare moment." - AppAdvice
The rules are simple: switch the orbits, survive against all odds and keep calm. A tap is all it takes to get through. But you’ll discover less is more when your dexterity starts to be put to the test. Starting off fairly simple and gradually building up into something quite fiendish, the game will keep your grey matter ticking over in unison with the stimulating techno sounds. Appearing out of nowhere and vanishing in darkness, the round-dancing shapes will make your head swim, hands sweat and teeth clench. But as you get the rhythm you will see that there's nothing more satisfying than the feeling of genuine achievement after you've nailed another hellish level.

8 of 15Almost impossible for me to see the red stuff on a gray background. Good game otherwise, just hard when you can’t see what you need to avoid.
Once in the app the settings has two options, music & sound. I turned both off and the sound persisted, along with an annoying announcement for ‘level one’ (or something like that.
Was the couple grand worth losing the player base?
I spent 2 min on ads before even playing the game long enough to learn it. A ratio of 2 min of ads to maybe 40sec of game. Deleted. Don’t ask me to pay to remove the ads before I even see the game.
This is almost just a reskin with slight changes to mechanics and gameplay of Dropitz. Though the orbit idea is original, the timing aspect is not, same with the ring motif and speed idea. The game also interrupts flow using color shifts, and is unforgivably hard. This is a problem as it shows its just a cash grab, as you’re shown a 30 second ad every time you die. Additionally, there is no warning nor coyote time for when you fall into the center, and avoiding certain hardcoded red patterns is impossible with this.
obnoxious amount of ads
Not a bad game but the ads are too common
good. please fix the reverse parts though, I’m trying to get to leaderboards (which don’t even work, they need to be fixed), and there are sometimes way too many red orbits during reverse part, which makes it frustrating for me to get to further levels. please fix this when you can, asap.
