How to Play Orbit Dodge
Your amber scout is locked to the cyan planet's orbital path. Hold the left and right arrow keys, or A and D, to rotate in either direction. On a phone or tablet, press inside the game and drag sideways; short drags make careful adjustments while longer drags sweep quickly around the planet.
Asteroids enter from every edge of space and travel toward the planet. Read each rock's approach angle, then move to the opposite side of the orbit or slip behind one that has already crossed your path. The dashed orbit is your only route, so changing direction at the right moment matters more than simply holding one control.
A collision removes one of your three lives and destroys the asteroid that struck you. Your score rises for every moment you remain in orbit, while both asteroid speed and spawn pressure increase as the run continues. Surviving the early waves with all three lives gives you valuable room for error once the sky becomes crowded.
Watch the whole field instead of staring only at your scout. Rocks on the far edge reveal safe gaps several seconds in advance, and reversing direction is often safer than racing through a narrowing opening. Build a rhythm of scanning, choosing a gap, and making one deliberate move to push your best survival score higher.
