About Orbit Escape
In ‘Orbit Escape’ you have to tap the screen at the right time to make the spaceship move in a straight line towards the next planet. If you don’t do this at the right time, and consequently don’t reach the planet, it results in game over. You can also collect coins to buy spaceship skins.
How to play Orbit Escape
Getting started takes about ten seconds. Load the game above and it fills the player in portrait. On a phone you can play one-handed; on desktop the frame stays centred so nothing is cropped. Most players get the hang of it inside two or three attempts.
