Orbit Latch: One-Button Space Arcade

Hold an orbit. Find your opening. Release and fly.

How it plays. Orbit Latch is a one-button space game about timing and momentum. Hold to catch the highlighted gravity anchor and swing around it, then let go toward the next ring. The dotted tangent guide shows where you will fly. Stay latched too long and the tether overheats and snaps.

Fly through 36 hand-built sectors across twelve families: wide orbits, compact slingshots, high and low anchors, half-circle escapes, asteroid corridors, moving anchors, one-way gates and three-anchor finales.

What's in it

• Endless Flight mixes the sectors into ever-changing routes
• 12 four-gate flight lessons with bronze, silver and gold medals
• Center passes for extra points; gold needs four centers with no heat break

• Text size up to 200%, reduced motion
• English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese
• Short runs. Plays offline, no account.
