Sure the planets revolve around the Sun. But that doesn’t mean that they will cooperate when the Sun is your mouse cursor, dashing across the screen at unfathomable speeds and messing with the laws of the universe.

Orbitrunner is an addictive little flash game that puts the mighty physics of the galaxy on display. It’s as simple as placing your cursor on the playing map and manipulating planets in such a way that they don’t fly in untold directions – though sometimes, you may screw around and luck will fall in your favour. The goal: keep the spherical gases and rocks on screen for the specified time and you win.  And while the expectations are simple, it becomes really quite challenging. In fact, you have five chances to skip levels, which is an option you’ll most certainly take eventually.

Take a spin at Orbitrunner here, and watch as your time sinks away.
