Hey, Taxi!

Orbit Taxi

Somewhere a passenger shouts “Hey Taxi!” — find them, set down gently beside them, get them to their destination. Sounds easy? Wait until three of them are shouting at once, the fuel runs low and the pad is smaller than your taxi.

01 / Origin

A homage, not a remake

Remember Space Taxi, the legendary C64 cult classic from 1984? Fire the thrusters, land gently, pick up passengers — a feeling that shaped a whole generation.

Orbit Taxi brings that feeling back to life: with brand new levels, lovingly drawn animations, clever obstacles and everything a modern game needs — but with the heart of back then. The levels, the artwork, the sound and the code are entirely our own.

02 / The shift

What you are in for

Six things that make up this shift.

  • 01

    20 handbuilt levels

    From your first driving lesson to a hell ride through wormholes and solar wind. Every level brings a new piece of mischief: meteors, lightning fields, moving platforms, narrow shafts.

  • 02

    The Night Shift

    Clear all twenty levels and it unlocks: the same city, a completely different game.

  • 03

    Gentle landings pay

    Precision earns tips. Put it down like a sack of bolts and you will see it straight away — in the landing legs, and in the balance.

  • 04

    Collect, shine, show off

    Earn stars, unlock paint jobs, chase achievements and climb the leaderboard. After every shift your taxi celebrates you — or cries, if it went badly.

  • 05

    Music that never gets annoying

    A new soundtrack somewhere between space funk and cartoon jazz. Plus 31 languages, because passengers are waiting everywhere.

  • 06

    Play it with anything

    Touch on phone and tablet, the Siri Remote on Apple TV, mouse and keyboard on the Mac, a gamepad in the living room.

Three taxis to fall in love with

Each with its own sound and its own character — all three drive equally well.

The three Orbit Taxi vehicles: Rusty, Comet and Nova.

  • Rusty

    The rattling old-timer. Backfires, exhaust clouds, character by the bucketload.

  • Comet

    The warp ship with energy rings. For everyone who likes it to glow.

  • Nova

    The neon speedster with an afterburner. Looks fast and sounds it too.
