About Orbit Pals
Orbit Pals is a color sort puzzle in space: alien pals drift in mixed pods, and each one has to float home to the planet that matches its color.
Only the edge group of a pod can move, so the order you empty the pods decides whether the system clears or locks.
How to Play Orbit Pals
Tap a planet to lift its edge group, then tap another planet to send the pals there.
Pals can only land on a planet already holding their own color, or on an empty planet.
Unite every color on one planet to clear it and free that orbit ring.
Keep one ring empty at all times — it is the only working space you have.
Undo, restart, hint, and extra-planet buttons sit on the bottom bar when a sort goes wrong.
Tips & Strategies
- Guard the buffer ring. Sorting without a spare ring locks the galaxy, so never fill the empty one just because a pal fits.
- Finish one planet. A planet cleared in one uninterrupted sequence frees a whole ring, and that ring unlocks the rest of the system.
- Park strays first. When colors swirl together, move the single odd pals into the buffer before you touch the matching pairs.
