ORBIT: The Background Space Game

Quick Start

To spawn a planet, press any number 1-9 on your keyboard and click anywhere on the screen.

Description

Orbit is a very chill idle/background game that you can run in your browser. It is based off space and solar systems. Your star in the center of the screen will slowly evolve from a proto-star to a main sequence star all the way up to a red giant and explode in a super nova! Throw planets around your star, and recycle your star to gain more mass.
