Hold the line. Keep the core. Everything in the dark is falling toward you. All you have is one node on a tether, and one thumb. Orbital is a one-tap reflex arcade game about a single, elegant trade-off. Hold to reel your node in: the orbit tightens, the spin accelerates, and you whip through threats late and fast. Release to swing wide: the orbit slows and widens, and you patrol the outer ring catching things early. That is the entire control scheme.
