Chart Ordie

Description

Chart OrDie is a fast-paced retro vector arcade game featuring orbital physics, dynamic gravity slingshots, and global leaderboards.

Pilot your reconnaissance craft through uncharted deep space sectors. Ride planetary gravity, manage fuel reserves, and push your momentum to the limit. Every millisecond counts: go far… or die trying!

Key Features:
• Minimalist vector visual style running at buttery-smooth 60 FPS
• Pure HTML5 Canvas (instant load, zero bloat)
• Real-time global Hall of Honor leaderboards
• Procedural synth soundscapes adapting to your flight velocity
• Unlockable callsigns and sector milestones

Content Advisory: Contains mild fantasy sci-fi destruction (ship explosions). No violence.

How to Play

HOW TO PLAY / QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE:

CONTROLS:
• Keyboard:
– [Up / Down Arrows] or [W / S] — Adjust trajectory / flight angle
– [Spacebar] (Release) — Launch
– [ESC] AND Option Restart — Restart

• Mouse / Touch & Click:
– [Top / Bottom Screen Clicks] — Adjust trajectory up or down
– [Left Mouse Click] (Release) — Launch

• Gamepad / Controller:
– [D-Pad Up / Down] or [Left Analog Stick] — Adjust trajectory / flight angle
– [A / Cross] (Release) — Launch
– [Select] AND [A / Cross]— Restart

CORE RULES:
1. Orbital Momentum: Enter a planet’s gravity well to curve your trajectory. Adjust your angle and time your release to slingshot into the next safe vector.
2. Fuel Management: Firing thrusters consumes fuel. Drift through open space whenever possible to conserve energy.
3. Hazards: Avoid red unstable orbits and sector boundaries. Any collision ends your run.
4. Leaderboard: Survival distance and sector progression determine your final score on the global Hall of Honor!
