About the Game

Orbit Rush: Journey to the Sun is a solo 2D space platformer where you travel through the solar system, starting at Neptune and working your way toward the Sun. 

Each planet has its own level, with different obstacles and hazards such as asteroids, gravity storms, and ring blades.

Your goal is to collect fuel, protect your health and shield, and safely reach the warp gate at the end of each level. Along the way, you will need quick reflexes, good timing, and smart decisions about when to grab resources and when to avoid danger. As you move closer to the Sun, the levels become more challenging until you finally reach the Sun boss level.

The game mixes space exploration, arcade-style action, and resource management to create a fun journey across all eight planets + the Sun.
