About the game

Orbit Sweeper is a small space game about the strange way orbits really work. A raccoon flies a round cleaning satellite around a cosy blue planet, and broken scrap, solar panels and glowing hot chunks keep sinking toward the ring station where the crew lives. Bump each piece out of orbit before its timer runs out and it crashes into the station.

The catch is the physics. Firing your engine forward lifts you to a higher orbit, and higher orbits are slower, so boosting toward junk ahead of you only makes it pull away. To catch up you brake, drop under it, overtake, then climb back. Junk just behind you is easier: climb a little and let it slide under your bumper. Twenty-five orbits add two-hit panels, fast-falling hot chunks and penguin taxis you must not hit.
