Test Your Reflexes!

Things fall from the top of the screen and you've got to catch them. It starts deceptively easy — then the speed ramps up, bombs start mixing in, and suddenly your hand is scrambling to keep up. Pick a difficulty, survive as long as you can, and beat your high score.

Controls

• Move your mouse left and right inside the game area to steer the basket. On mobile or tablet, drag your finger across the screen — touch is fully supported.
• On desktop you can also use the keyboard: ← → arrow keys or A / D to move the basket, and Space to pause and resume.

What Falls and What It Does

• 🍎 Apple — the bread and butter. Catch it for +10 points. Let it hit the floor and you lose a life.
• 💣 Bomb — avoid these. Catching a bomb costs you one life. Letting it fall past is fine — bombs don't penalise you for dodging.
• 🌟 Golden Apple — rare and worth it. +50 points when caught, and it counts toward your combo streak.
• ⭐ Star — instantly gives you +1 extra life. Catch these whenever you can.
• ⏰ Clock — triggers Slow Motion for 3 seconds, cutting the fall speed to 40% of normal. A lifesaver when things get hectic.

Combo Streaks & Multipliers

Every consecutive apple or golden apple you catch without missing or hitting a bomb adds to your streak. At 3 in a row you earn a ×2 points multiplier, and at 5 in a row it jumps to ×3. A long combo can turn a decent run into a great score very quickly. Miss one apple or catch a bomb and the streak resets to zero.

Difficulty & Levels

• At the start you choose Easy, Normal, or Hard. Easy has slower objects and far fewer bombs. Hard starts fast and throws more bombs from the beginning.
• Every 100 points you advance a level. Each level increases the fall speed and slightly tightens the spawn rate. The game gets noticeably harder around Level 4–5 — that's when the pressure really kicks in.
• A "Level X!" flash appears on screen each time you level up so you always know where you stand.

Tips

• Prioritise catching the clock (⏰) and star (⭐) whenever they appear — they change the momentum of a run more than any individual apple.
• In the early levels, focus on building your combo streak before the speed increases. A ×3 multiplier on Normal is worth more than scrambling to catch everything on Hard.
• On mobile, rest your finger lightly on the board and slide smoothly — tapping repeatedly is slower than one continuous drag.
• You don't have to catch bombs — moving through them costs a life, but so does missing apples. When it gets frantic, sometimes the right call is to let a bomb pass and focus on the apples around it.
