About Orbit Swing
Orbit Swing is a one-touch space game. Hold to grab the nearest planet and swing around it, then let go to fling yourself to the next one. Keep climbing, don't crash, and don't fall off the bottom of the screen.
You are a little ship floating between planets. Hold to grab the nearest planet and swing around it on a line. Let go to fling yourself off in the direction you are moving. Time the release so you fly toward the next planet, then hold again to catch it.
Keep climbing to go further. Crash into a planet or fall off the bottom of the screen and the run is over. Gems along the way add to your total, and your best distance is saved. Swinging uses real gravity, so once you get a feel for it you can pull off long, fast flings.

Tips to get a higher score
