Orbit hook

How to play Orbit hook

Orbit hook is an endless space game about momentum. Your craft drifts through a star field dotted with planets. Hold the action key or tap and hold the screen to latch onto the nearest planet and swing around it in an orbit. Let go to fling off in whatever direction you were moving, toward the next planet. Time your release to line up the next latch, chain orbits to keep moving, grab glowing sparks for points and dodge asteroids. Drift off into empty space or hit an asteroid and the run ends.

Tips

• Release at the top of the swing to launch toward the next planet
• Hold a little longer to build speed before you let go
• Look ahead and pick your next planet before you release
• Sparks are worth a detour, asteroids never are
