01 · the game

Short runs. Long consequences.

Chart the sector

Every run draws a fresh branching map across three sectors. Battles, elites, shops, a place to catch your breath and the odd mystery node — your route, your risk.

Swarms with choreography

Twelve formation patterns, from snaking trains to pincer dives. Wipe out a whole swarm and it may drop a power-up.

Stack your drones

Ice, fire, lightning and acid wingmates, three tiers each. They turn a pea-shooter into a light show.

Bosses that fill the screen

Every sector ends with a colossal boss. One of them has a beam you will learn to respect.

Die richer

Every run feeds permanent upgrades in the Hangar. The sector resets — your arsenal doesn't.

Premium, full stop

$2.99 once. No ads, no in-app purchases, no energy timers. Plays offline.

Final boss: the developer

Simple Ideas is Salih — a one-person studio in İzmir, Türkiye. Five years of shipping mobile apps, a psychology degree, and a lifelong shmup habit that finally became a game.

Almost in Orbit is the studio's first title: designed, coded, balanced and launched by the same pair of hands. Collect Pixel Art is next.
