App version: 1.0
How to play
Orbit Breaker is a one-tap timing game.
- Choose Classic or Daily from the ready screen.
- Watch your ship orbit the current planet.
- Tap when its tangent points toward the highlighted target planet.
- Land inside the inner target area for a perfect landing and a larger combo.
- Keep climbing until you miss or hit a hazard.
The trajectory guide can be set to Off, Tutorial, or Always in Settings.
Controls
- Tap while orbiting: launch
- Pause button: pause the active run
- Resume: continue a paused run
- Restart: immediately begin the current mode again
- Replay Now: restart after game over
- Main Menu: leave the current run or summary and return to mode selection
- Save Score Card: save a PNG image to Files > On My iPhone > Orbit Breaker
- Leaderboards: open Game Center leaderboards when Game Center is available
Settings
Settings includes controls for:
- Sound effects
- Music
- Haptics
- Reduced motion and screen shake
- High-contrast trajectory guide
- Trajectory guide visibility: Off, Tutorial, or Always
- Export Gameplay Stats: write a summary of your local gameplay statistics to Files > On My iPhone > Orbit Breaker
Loadout lists every ship colour, trail, and planet theme. Locked items show the condition that unlocks them; tap an unlocked item to equip it.
Settings and unlocked items are saved locally.
Why did my run end?
The game-over panel reports the cause:
- Drifted into deep space: the launch missed the target or left the playable area.
- Struck an asteroid: the ship crossed an asteroid before reaching the target.
- Caught in a pulse mine: the ship entered the mine's active collision radius.
- Collided with a dead orbit: the ship struck a non-target planet or obstruction.
- Signal timed out: the ship remained in flight beyond the allowed time.
The same panel shows score, best score, landings, perfect landings, highest combo, unlocks, and New Best status.
Daily Challenge
The Daily Challenge changes at 00:00 UTC. Everyone using the same game version receives a layout generated from the same UTC date seed.
If two players see different layouts, confirm:
- Both devices use the same Orbit Breaker version and build.
- Both devices have the correct date and time.
- Both players selected Daily rather than Classic.
- Neither run crossed the 00:00 UTC date boundary before restarting.
Game Center troubleshooting
If leaderboards or achievements do not appear:
- Confirm that the device is connected to the internet.
- Confirm that Game Center is enabled and signed in under iOS Settings.
- Restart Orbit Breaker and allow the Game Center authentication prompt to complete.
- Complete a run before checking whether a score was submitted.
- Confirm that the app is a TestFlight or App Store build with Game Center enabled.
- During beta testing, confirm that the required leaderboard and achievement components are active for the tested app version in App Store Connect.
The game remains playable without Game Center, but online scores and achievement progress cannot be submitted.
Progress or settings did not save
Orbit Breaker stores progress in its local app container.
- Avoid force-quitting the app immediately after changing a setting or ending a run.
- Confirm that sufficient device storage is available.
- Deleting the app removes its local progress, settings, and saved score cards from the device. Restoring an iPhone backup may restore an earlier copy.
- Offloading the app keeps its documents and data so they are available after the app is reinstalled.
- Restoring a device or app from backup may restore older local data.
- If save data is invalid, the game safely starts from default progress rather than blocking play.
There is currently no developer-operated cloud-save or account-recovery service. Apple documents the difference between offloading and deleting in Manage storage on iPhone.
Score-card troubleshooting
Save Score Card writes an image to the app's Documents folder, which you can open in the Files app under On My iPhone > Orbit Breaker. The current version does not automatically add the image to Photos and does not open the iOS share sheet; use the Files app to share, copy, or delete saved cards.
If saving fails, include that fact in a bug report along with the device, iOS version, app build, and available storage. Do not send a score-card image if it contains anything you do not want included in a support message.
Audio, haptic, or motion concerns
- Check Orbit Breaker's Sound, Music, and Haptics toggles.
- Check device volume, silent mode, Focus settings, and system haptic settings.
- Enable Reduced Motion to reduce animated background changes, disable gameplay screen shake, and turn off full-screen landing and failure flashes.
- Enable Reduced Screen Shake to turn off screen shake on its own.
- Enable High Contrast Guide if the default trajectory guide is hard to see.
- Set Guide to Always if you want the trajectory guide throughout every run.
