Orbit Rush

A survival game played entirely in orbit around a central mass. Holding the input pulls you inward and releasing lets you drift out, so your altitude is continuously adjustable — and hazards sweep through at different radii, meaning survival is a matter of being at the right distance at the right moment rather than dodging sideways. That single continuous control makes it unusually readable. There is no combination of inputs to learn and nothing hidden; every death is a matter of having been at the wrong radius, and you can see the hazard that will kill you several seconds before it arrives. What makes it hard is that the inner orbits are faster, so the radius that keeps you safe from one hazard gives you less time to react to the next. Runs are short — a minute is good — and restarting is instant, which is the only sensible structure for something with this death rate. The presentation is minimal and high-contrast, which a game judged on reading distances needs. It plays with one tap, runs on anything, and makes its entire case in the first twenty seconds.
