Circles & Dots: Pip's Orbit
One tap. One orbit. Get home.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: three kinds of hazard to read, formations to learn, and a pod that finally feels like it has weight. Two modes, one tap, one small pilot trying to get home.
Pip is nine years old and a very long way from home.
Her survival pod came loose during a debris storm, and now she is drifting
through the Drift: a belt of wreckage orbiting a dead star. Her family is out
there, listening for her beacon. One orbit at a time, she is going back.
Her pod has a single thruster, so you have a single control. Tap. That is the
whole game, and it is harder than it sounds.
TWO WAYS TO FLY
Retrograde flips your thrust so you double back along the same orbit. Transfer
hops you between the inner and outer shells. Same story, different verb, and
each keeps its own record.
WHAT IS OUT THERE
Asteroids tumble past and cannot be destroyed. Sweeper drones will clear you
away like any other debris, unless you are carrying a Phase Shield. Bolts come
fast and thin, and there is no answering them.
Between them float shards of salvage. Collect them quickly and your collector
goes into resonance, multiplying everything you pick up. Pass close to a hazard
without touching it and you steal momentum from it. The best runs are the
greedy ones.
FIT OUT THE POD
Spend salvage on an extra hull plate, a wider tractor beam, better luck with
powers, a higher multiplier. Change your beacon frequency and fly in a colour
of your choosing.
The whole game is free, and every run is playable without spending anything.
Simple to learn, difficult to master, over in a minute.
Bring her home.
