Merge & grow
Start with dust and rock and work your way up through moons, planets, stars, and beyond — all the way to the black hole.
What is Orbonix?
A fast, satisfying arcade puzzle for iPhone. You drop orbs from above; when two of the same kind touch, they merge into the next larger orb. Every merge earns XP — but if anything crosses the dotted danger line, the run ends.
Easy to learn in a minute, deep enough to chase high scores, daily and monthly quests, long-term achievements, and Game Center leaderboards. Positioning, chain merges, and calm recovery when the stack gets messy are what separate a good run from a great one.
Combo XP
Chain merges quickly to build combo multipliers, burst particles, and bigger XP gains on every run.
Daily & monthly quests
Fresh challenges every day plus a monthly quest — finish them to claim bonus XP and surprise prizes.
Achievements
Long-term goals for lifetime XP, black holes collected, and play streaks. Complete one to claim an extra life.
Game Center ranks
Optional sign-in posts your best run, today’s XP, and lifetime XP to three leaderboards.
Lives & streak
Three lives per day with a daily play streak. Need another try? Come back tomorrow or watch an optional rewarded video.
The orb ladder
Every pair of matching orbs becomes the next stage on the ladder. Only dust, rock, and moon drop from the queue — merge up from there. Plan your drops so the stack stays stable as the pieces get bigger.
Dust
Rock
Moon
Planet
Gas
Star
Giant
Big Bertha
Black hole
Two of the same orb merge into the next size. Chain merges back-to-back for combo bonuses and more XP.
