Orbit Grow
Grow a tiny moonlet into a supergiant in a pastel space arena. Sweep up asteroids, pull smaller planets into your gravity and spend stardust on permanent upgrades.
Orbit Grow is a gentle space .io game set in a dreamy pastel nebula. You start as a small golden moonlet among twenty named rival planets such as Kepler, Vega and Andromeda, with thousands of drifting asteroids to collect. As you move, nearby rocks swirl into orbit and fall onto your surface, and every few grams of growth make your gravity reach a little further. A live top-10 leaderboard and minimap show who is heaviest and who is worth chasing.
The twist is gravity itself. Any planet you outweigh gets dragged toward you, so a well-timed slingshot can turn a near miss into a meal, while bigger worlds tug on you the same way. Slingshotting costs a bit of mass, so use it to finish a chase or flee danger rather than for cruising. Rival planets farm gold asteroids, hunt anything smaller and flee from larger neighbors, and really huge worlds slowly lose mass, so the lead keeps changing hands. Climb from Moonlet through Planetoid, Planet, Gas Giant and Star to Supergiant. Every run pays out stardust based on your best mass and absorbed planets, which you can spend on upgrades for your starting mass, slingshot recharge and gravity reach.
It suits players who like relaxed growth games with a steady sense of progress. Tip: circle the edges of an asteroid field and let your gravity do the collecting.
How to play
Fly your little planet around a pastel nebula and sweep up asteroids to gain mass; gold asteroids are worth extra. Planets noticeably smaller than you (green names) get pulled in by your gravity and can be absorbed, while bigger planets (red names) will absorb you. Slingshot for a burst of speed to catch prey or escape, at the cost of a little mass. Your score is the biggest mass you reach before being absorbed. Each run earns stardust that buys permanent upgrades: more starting mass, faster slingshot recharge and longer gravity reach.
