Orbit Kick

Orbit Kick is a timing and momentum game built around a single mechanic: you control a character orbiting a central point, and you tap to kick outward at the right moment to launch a ball or projectile toward a target. The orbit is constant, the kick is instantaneous, and everything depends on reading where you are in the rotation when you commit.

It sounds simple and the first few levels are. Tap when facing the target, score, move on. Then the targets start moving, the orbit speed shifts, obstacles appear between you and the goal, and suddenly you're calculating angular velocity on the fly.

The satisfaction comes from the physics. A well-timed kick sends the ball arcing perfectly into a distant goal. A mistimed one sprays wide or thuds into a wall. There's no faking it - either you read the rotation right or you didn't.

Levels are short puzzles. Fail, instantly retry, adjust your timing, succeed. The retry loop is frictionless, which makes the game easy to sink into for ten minutes that turn into forty.

Your character orbits the central anchor automatically. You don't control the orbit speed directly - it's set per level.

Tap click or spacebar to kick. The kick launches a projectile outward in the direction you're currently facing at the moment of the tap.

Time the kick so your facing direction points at the target when you commit. Because the orbit is continuous, you have a narrow window per rotation to line up the shot.

Later levels add moving targets, obstacles, and variable orbit speeds. Read each puzzle's rhythm before committing to a kick.

Watch the target, not your character. Your peripheral vision tracks your position - focus your eyes on where the ball needs to go.

Anticipate target movement. If a target is sliding, kick toward where it will be, not where it is.

Retry freely. There's no penalty for failed attempts, so experiment with timing rather than overthinking a single kick.

On variable-speed orbits, the kick window shifts each rotation. Don't assume the same tap timing works twice.
