THE IDEA

Small gestures.
Unexpected motion.

A glowing particle playground where the cursor becomes an orb, clicks create portals, and a single key shifts the scene from calm to chaos.

Neon Orbit Arcade explores how a few simple inputs can make a screen feel alive. Moving the mouse guides an orb; holding it leaves particles behind. Placed portals pull and swirl nearby particles, turning a trail into a small moving system.
