Move & collect
Point your mouse where you want to go. Bring it close to your orb to slow down. On touch screens, steer with the bottom-right joystick and collect glowing sparks and smaller wisps.
YOUR FIRST RUN
A small spark goes a long way.
Tempest Orbs is a living arena about movement, timing and knowing when to leave. Start small, find a safe line through the map and turn every good decision into momentum.
Risk & reward
Hold Space or the lightning button to boost. Boosting spends mass, so use it to escape a bad angle, close a gap or take a calculated chase. You need a clear size advantage before a player or PvE orb can be consumed.
Read the danger
Predators patrol the map and storms change the safe space. Bigger hunters may flee you, but pressure rises during a long run. A short spawn shield protects you while you get your bearings.
Choose your moment
Stay near activity without diving into every fight. New players appear in quieter sectors, wisps keep a quiet arena alive and hazards reward players who keep moving.

Your score is the maximum mass you reached. Public runs can appear on the leaderboard and earn configurable milestone rewards. Solo practice is a safe way to learn without changing progression or Tempest Tokens.
