Orbit Hopper

How to play Orbit Hopper

1. Your hopper circles the planet on its own — watch the direction it is facing.
2. Press Space, click or tap to let go. You fly straight, bent by every planet’s gravity.
3. Touch a planet to swing into its orbit. Each new planet pays points and grows your combo.
4. Reach the golden ★ beacon at the top to finish the level. From level 4 planets drift, and from level 7 a black hole lurks between them.

Controls: Space, click or tap: let go of the planet.

💡 A near miss is a free slingshot: grazing a planet’s gravity bends you around it and flings you out faster.

Press P to pause and M to mute. Works on desktop, tablet and phone.
