ORBITAL — Support

ORBITAL: Bubble Arcade is a bubble shooter with the causality inverted. Balls fly in at you from every edge, and your only control is spinning the cluster they land on.

Frequently asked

How do I play? You cannot move, aim or shoot. Drag anywhere to rotate your whole cluster, and use that rotation to choose which of your balls the incoming one hits — which decides where it lands. Three of a colour touching each other pop.

What is the stone? A ball that sits unmatched for long enough petrifies into stone. Stone cannot be matched away, and it is usually what eventually kills you. The tier-4 Purifier turns stone back into live colour, and the Bomb, Laser and Shockwave destroy it outright.

Do I need an account? No. ORBITAL has no accounts, no login and no sign-up.

Does it work offline? Yes — always. ORBITAL makes no network calls at all, and the Android build does not even request the internet permission.

Where are my high scores stored? Only on your device. Nothing is uploaded, and nothing is collected about you — see the privacy policy. Deleting the app deletes your scores with it.

Can I move my scores to a new phone? Not currently. Because nothing leaves the device, there is no account to restore from.

What are the three modes? Endless is the game: a fresh seed, no finish line. Daily gives everyone the same board, seeded from the date, with unlimited attempts. Purge starts you buried in a stone-heavy board, and you win by destroying the last stone rather than by surviving.

Everyone gets the same Daily board? Yes. It is seeded from the date, so every player sees the same board on the same day. Daily is always played on Normal difficulty so the scores are comparable.

The game is too hard. Lower the difficulty in settings — each mode and difficulty keeps its own score list, so nothing is lost. Magnet assist, also in settings, steers the cluster toward a matching contact for you.

Can I turn off the screen shake or the glow? Yes, both are switches in settings, along with haptics and separate sound and music volumes.
