🚀 Orbit - Master Realistic Orbital Mechanics

Navigate the cosmos using real orbital physics in this challenging space puzzle game! Calculate your burns, manage your fuel, and achieve stable orbits in increasingly complex gravitational systems.

🎮 Game Description

Orbit is a physics-based space navigation game where precision and planning are your greatest tools. Pilot your spacecraft through intricate planetary systems, using authentic Patched Conics and N-Body physics to reach your destination. Each level presents a unique orbital puzzle where you must establish a stable orbit while conserving precious fuel.

Experience the thrill of spaceflight as you:

  • Plan Your Trajectory: Study the gravitational landscape and plot your course
  • Execute Perfect Burns: Time your engine burns with precision to achieve optimal orbits
  • Conserve Resources: Every drop of fuel counts - efficiency is key to earning top ranks
  • Master Gravity: Navigate complex multi-body systems where every planet's influence matters

Whether you're threading through tight planetary passages or orchestrating complex gravity assists, every mission challenges your understanding of orbital mechanics. The game features 6 progressively challenging levels, each introducing new gravitational scenarios and orbital puzzles.
