Games

Our first game is all about how you hold the phone.

Obstacle Frenzy

Tilt, leap, hit the buzzer

Coming soon to the App Store, iPhone

Grab your phone, hold it like a steering wheel and run. Obstacle Frenzy is an obstacle-course game you play by tilting. Lean forward to sprint, tilt to steer and balance, and tap to jump, kip, let go and push off. Your athlete is fully physics driven, so every swing, landing and wobble comes from how you move the phone.

Every obstacle uses iPhone tilt in its own way.

Train with a coach

Practise any unlocked obstacle with no clock and optional half speed. A live coach calls the timing ("KIP NOW!", "LET GO NOW!") and explains every fall.

A real arena

Floodlights, reflective water, fireworks, and grandstands that fill up and cheer louder as your run gets exciting.

Play any way you hold it

Tilt calibrates to however you hold the phone: sitting up, lying back or flat on a table.

About

Easy to pick up, hard to put down, a little bit surreal.

Copper Orbit Studio is an independent game studio based in Ohio. We make physical, playful games for phones: easy to pick up, hard to put down, and a little bit surreal.

Every swing in our games comes from real physics, and every sound is made in code. We're small on purpose, so we can sweat the details.

How do I control the game?

Hold your phone in landscape like a steering wheel. Tilt forward to run, tilt sideways to steer and balance, and tap to jump, kip, let go or push off. Tilt calibrates to how you hold the phone when you press Start.

The tilt feels too sensitive or not sensitive enough.

Open the pause menu and adjust the sensitivity slider.

How do I unlock the next trial?

Hit the buzzer on the trial before it. Trial 4's rivals unlock one at a time as you beat them.

Does the game need internet or an account?

No account is needed, and the game plays offline.

Will my progress be lost if I delete the app?

Progress and settings are stored only on your device, so deleting the app removes them.

How do I report a bug?

Email support@copperorbitstudio.com with your iPhone model, iOS version and what happened. Screenshots help.
