Satellites kill on contact
Big planets spin them on fixed orbits. One touch is instant death — a shield will not save you. Read the orbit and thread the gaps.
Red — their lock-on. Flee.
Aqua — your lock-on. Strike.
How to play
03escape
When you're small — hold
Hold the burst button. The sustained speed boost is what breaks a chase; a quick tap spends heat and gets you nowhere. It sheds mass while it runs, so spend it on escaping, not on travelling.

When you're big — tap
Same control, opposite move: tap the burst button. The shockwave fires once, the instant you engage, and at your size it flings an incoming diver straight back off you. Holding cannot fire it twice — it only burns mass.

Questions
Frequent questions
The things people ask most before their first match.
No. orbyon.io is free and there is nothing to buy. Skins change how you look, never your mass or your speed.
No. Hit play and you are in the arena. There are no accounts: your best scores and the skins you unlock are kept in your browser.
Yes, in your phone's browser. Drag on the left half of the screen to move; the burst button sits bottom-right. Phone and desktop players share the same arena. Native iOS and Android apps are coming soon.
Almost always a satellite. Big planets spin them on fixed orbits and one touch kills, whatever your size — no shield stops it. Read the orbit and thread the gaps.
It depends on your mass. Small: hold it for a sustained boost to break a chase. Big: a single tap fires a shockwave that flings back whoever is diving at you. Either way it burns mass, so do not spend it just to travel.
