Catch ItIf You Can

Catch the falling food. Slide anywhere on the screen to move Bun and the basket. With a mouse, just move it. On a keyboard, use the arrow keys or A and D.

Five plates. Every food that hits the ground breaks a plate. When the last plate breaks, something very big falls on Bun. Then tap Again.

It gets trickier. Big foods first, then small ones, then thin ones that tumble end over end. Later come eggs (hold still as one lands), jelly (it bounces out once), fluttering lettuce, grapes that split in the air, toast, and wind. Dodge the boots and cans.

Second chances. Foods that bounce or roll can still be saved: run over them before they stop to scoop them up.

Points grow with the wave and your combo. Catch in the middle of the basket for a Perfect. Arrive in the last instant for a Clutch. A food that rolls in off the rim is a Rim roll.

The pile. Food stacks up in the basket. Jerky moves make it sway, and if it leans too far the top food tips out (catch it again, it costs nothing). Eight in the pile and Bun tips it into the crate for a bonus. Five or more different foods make a fruit salad basket, worth half again as much.

Landing marks. A shadow on the ground shows where each food will land. It darkens as the food gets close, and a ring marks the next one to catch. A red ring means a boot or a can: stay away, and a close dodge earns a bonus.

Dishes. From wave 2 a dish card shows three foods. Catch all three during that wave to serve the dish for a big bonus. Every dish you serve goes in the Food Book.

Feast. Catches fill the Feast meter under the score, and long combos fill it faster. When it is full, food rains down for a few seconds, everything is worth double and no plates can break.

Boss drops. After waves 4, 8, 12 and so on, something huge falls: a giant jelly that splits each time you catch it, or a golden melon that bounces back up. Pieces you miss never break a plate. Catch them all for a big bonus.

Themed waves. In Classic, every third wave from wave 6 has a theme, like a golden shower or an egg rush.

Bubbles: wide basket, slow honey (the world slows down, you do not), magnet, an extra plate and double points.

Daily Drop: the same drop for everyone each day (UTC). Your first run of the day goes on the board. Play it again any time for practice.

Keys: arrows or A and D move, Space or Esc pause, Enter plays again, M mutes.
