Orbit Shift

Operational Brief

Orbit Shift is a single-input arcade physics game: hold to tighten your orbit, release to slingshot between gravity wells. Easy to grasp in one screen, hard to master across a run — built to be played in a browser tab, instantly, with no install.

Designed and engineered in-house at Studio Eighty Five as a showcase of fast, lightweight HTML5 craft: zero dependencies, sub-100 KB payload, and a steady 60 FPS on phones.

• One-thumb control — tap, hold, release
• Procedural gravity-well layouts, endless runs
• Local best-score chase and near-miss combo scoring
• Instant load — no install, no account, no friction
• Responsive from phone to ultrawide

• Hold to contract your orbital radius; release to launch on the tangent
• Chain slingshots for speed multipliers; clip a well and the run ends
• Difficulty ramps via well density and shrinking safe corridors
