Neon Orbit is an arcade game: you rotate platforms so an orb rolls through gaps, race other pilots in battles, and your best scores can appear on a world leaderboard. It is made by Ognen Kirov Todorovski, an individual developer in Skopje, North Macedonia (“I”, “me”).
The short version: the website has no ads. The iPhone and Android apps can show Google ads, explained below. I run no analytics of my own. You can play without an account. If you choose to sign in, I store your email address (or your Apple sign-in) so your pilot and friends follow you to other devices. Nothing is sold or shared.
What stays on your device
Coins, gems, unlocked orbs and trails, power-ups, settings, achievements, missions and your run history are saved in the app’s local storage. As a guest they never leave your device. If you sign in, a copy is saved with your account (see below). Clearing the app’s data or using Settings → Reset progress removes the copy on your device.
What is sent to the server
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Your pilot name (you choose it; it starts as a random name like PILOT-4821) | Shown to other players on the leaderboard, in battles and to your friends |
| A random player ID created on your device | Identifies your pilot to the server. It is not your device ID or advertising ID, and is never shown to anyone |
| Each finished run: score, gates cleared, sector reached, pipes cleared, run length, and the orb you used | Ranking, weekly boards, your live world rank, and catching impossible scores |
| During a battle: your live score, whether you are still in, and your orb’s position on the track | So everyone in the battle sees the same race. Battle rooms live only in the server’s memory and disappear when the battle ends |
If you sign in (optional)
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Your email address, if you sign in with an emailed code | To send you sign-in codes and recognise your account. I never send marketing email |
| With Sign in with Apple: Apple’s user identifier for this app, and the email Apple shares (this can be a private relay address) | To recognise your account. Apple never tells me your password |
| Your game progress: coins, gems, unlocked orbs and trails, upgrades, achievements, missions, stats and recent runs | So your progress follows you to any device you sign in on |
| Your friends list, friend requests and the pilots you block | Friends, online status and battle invites |
Your friends see your pilot name, your orb, your best score and whether you are online or in a battle. Nobody sees your email address. Sign-in codes are stored only as a one-way hash and expire after 10 minutes.
Other players and reports
Names are checked against a filter of offensive words; a name that fails is replaced with a neutral one like PILOT-4821. If you report or block another player, the server records it so I can review reports and keep blocked players apart; these records are deleted with either player’s data. Quick matches may include computer-controlled pilots (marked BOT); they are not real people.
Like any website, the server also receives your IP address with each request; it is used briefly to limit abuse and is kept only in standard web server logs that are deleted on a rolling basis. I don’t sell or share any of this data, and the game server does not use it for advertising or profiling. It is stored on a server I run, and emails are sent through my email provider.
Ads and Neon Orbit Pro (iPhone and Android apps)
The apps may show ads from Google AdMob: short videos you choose to watch for a reward (a free revive, double coins). Google may collect device identifiers (such as the advertising ID), approximate location from your IP address and ad interaction data to show, measure and limit ads. On iPhone, ads are only personalised if you allow tracking in Apple’s prompt; in the EEA and UK, Google’s consent form asks you first. Saying no still shows ads, just not personalised ones. You can change your choice any time in your phone’s settings.
Neon Orbit Pro is an optional in-app purchase. Payment is handled by Apple or Google Play; the paywall and subscription status are provided by Superwall, which receives purchase and paywall interaction data and an anonymous app user ID. Neither Google nor Superwall receives your email address or pilot name from Neon Orbit. Pro players see no ads between runs. The website version shows no ads and offers no purchases.
Deleting your data
- Signed in: Profile → Account → Delete account deletes your account, email or Apple sign-in, saved progress, pilot, scores, friends and blocks from the server immediately, and revokes Sign in with Apple.
- Playing as a guest: Settings → Delete my leaderboard data removes your name and all your scores from the server immediately.
- Or email [email protected] and I’ll delete it for you.
Children
Neon Orbit is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them. The only text a player enters is a pilot name (and an email address to sign in); please don’t use your real name as your pilot name if you prefer to stay anonymous.
Terms
Leaderboard rules and other terms are in the terms of use.
