Moon Orbit Glide

Fly close to little moons for a slingshot bonus. Fly pixel Galileo between towers of star charts in the night sky. Little moons pull you towards them: brush past for a slingshot bonus, but never touch one, in this free flying game.

Twist: Little moons pull you in: skim past one for a +15 slingshot, but never touch it.

Parody. Galileo Galilei has no involvement in making these games and does not endorse them. The character is an original pixel-art caricature.

How to play

Tap the screen, click, or press Space / Up arrow to rise a little. Let go and gravity pulls you down.
Small moons float between some of the columns. When you get within about 40 pixels, they pull you towards them.
Pass close to a moon without touching it for a slingshot worth +15 points. Touching a moon ends the flight.
Fly through the gap between each pair of columns for 10 points. Touching a column or the floor ends the flight.
Press M for sound and P or Esc to pause. When the flight ends, share your score and challenge a friend.

The story

Pixel Galileo Galilei has discovered that the moons of Jupiter go round and round, and now he wants to feel it for himself. Strapped to a pair of canvas wings from his workshop, he leaps off the rooftop and into Moon Orbit Glide.

The sky is crowded. Tall columns of rolled star charts rise from below and hang from above, and small moons drift in the gaps, each one tugging him off course. Skim past them close enough and he is flung forward like a stone from a sling. Touch one and the flight is over.
