About the Game

Orbisphere is a cozy idle-arcade game about a small astronaut, named Orbi, with a big job: collect stardust to wake a sleeping station and find your way home.

Ride the orbit - the active loop

Drift through space, using your jetpack to speed up. Orbi can't change directions with his jetpack. Instead, utilise the gravitational pull of planets to change directions and slingshot your way through space. Collect stardust as you go and return to your station to upgrade your equipment. 

Feed the machines - the idle loop

Stardust feeds machine. Machines feed upgrades. Use the lab, 3D printer, solar wings and drone dock. Then let your OrbiBot collect stardust while you're afk. 

Upgrades let Orbi reach further into space in hopes of finding his way home.

Risk & Reward

Stardust is plentiful in the asteroid belt, but so are the hazards. What you gather only counts once you carry it home.

Build your garden oasis

Past the hazardous asteroid belt there is a light that shouldn't be there. Follow it and you might find something worth planting. 

Beware the wormholes!

  • Hands-on arcade sling-shotting with real momentum

  • A deepening idle economy that runs while you're away

  • Machines, gardens and upgrade trees to wake one by one

  • A quiet, lonely corner of space to make your own

  • Mini-games to boost your economy

  • Full controller support

  • No internet required, no accounts, no in-app purchases
