Music drives everything
Every ring, gap and light dot is placed on the track itself: the kicks, the build-ups, the drops. Quiet parts breathe, the drop hits like a wave.
Ride the orbit. Fly the beat.
A neon music arcade where every ring, every gap and every drop comes straight out of the soundtrack.

Features
Steer a tiny rocket around the orbit and slip through the gaps in the rings on the beat. Grab the light dots, charge the drop, and let the music carry you.
Every ring, gap and light dot is placed on the track itself: the kicks, the build-ups, the drops. Quiet parts breathe, the drop hits like a wave.
The campaign follows a spiral path toward the Sun. Every track is a new stop with its own sound, its own world and a bonus waiting at the end.
A fresh challenge every day, the same for every player, with modifiers that bend the rules. Then see where you land on the board.
18 original tracks, free to stream and record. Go live on Twitch or upload to YouTube without copyright claims.
The campaign. Fly the spiral toward the Sun.
Pick any track and chase your best score.

No finish line. How long can you stay in the flow?
Every track in one non-stop mix, with its own leaderboard.
Unlock rule-benders on the Journey: faster songs, color gates, vanishing walls, one life. Bigger risk, bigger score.
Burst mode
Fill your energy through the build-up. When the drop lands, the orbit breaks open and PERIHELIA flips into an old-school arcade shooter: waves of neon enemies, and the beat is your trigger.
