Player support

Controls

Drag within the playfield to steer the rig. It fires automatically. Double-tap in one spot or press Union Break to clear hazards and damage a boss. Breaks are limited, so keep one for a difficult stretch.

Tools, supplies, and inspections

Toolboxes upgrade your weapon. Coffee repairs integrity and grants a protective shield. Overtime temporarily increases your pay multiplier. Bosses show a health bar and charge their attacks before firing. Watch for the warning and move clear.

Four shifts

Choose Standard, Night Surge, Inspector Round, or Budget Cut from the briefing. Each has its own conditions and local best-pay record. Open How to Play for the field guide.

Pause, sound, and motion

Press the pause button during a shift to open settings. You can change Sound FX, haptics, Reduced Motion, and graphics quality there. Returning from another app pauses the shift; choose Resume Shift when you are ready.

Records and offline play

Gameplay needs no account or internet connection. Records and preferences are stored locally and do not sync through an Intent Mesh account. Avoid deleting the app when troubleshooting if you want to keep those records. Device backups are controlled by Apple and your settings.

TestFlight access

If a TestFlight build expires, check TestFlight for a newer build. If an invitation is shown as invalid or revoked, contact us with the app name and error message so we can check your access. The preserved historical Orbital Lift Night Shift and this separate Orbital Lift edition can appear as different entries.

Report a problem

Email [email protected] with the shift you selected, what you were doing, and whether the issue repeats. Please omit passwords, payment details, and other sensitive information. Read the app-specific privacy policy for how support correspondence is handled.
