Cozy Arcade
Orchard Catch
Catch 20 fruit before five spills. Dodge spiky burrs.
What you do
A sunny orchard and a basket that follows your aim. Tap or drag across the orchard to move beneath falling apples and golden pears. The fruit falls a little faster as the harvest continues, and spiky burrs sometimes fall alongside it. A missed fruit or a burr in the basket adds one spill. Gather 20 fruit before the fifth spill for a full harvest, then replay immediately. Only your best finished score is saved in this browser.
- A clear 20-fruit finish and five-spill limit.
- Smooth basket movement with tap, drag, mouse, or keyboard.
- Golden pears earn 150 points; apples earn 100.
- Distinct spiky burrs and landing shadows make hazards readable.
- Local best score, with no saved mid-round harvest.
How to play
- Press Start harvest on the orchard screen. Move the basket beneath the falling fruit.
- Tap or drag anywhere on the orchard to set a horizontal destination. The basket takes a short moment to reach it.
- Catch apples for 100 points and every fifth fruit, a golden pear, for 150.
- A missed fruit or a caught spiky burr adds one spill. Let burrs fall past your basket.
- Catch 20 fruit to win. Five spills end the round. Harvest again on the result screen starts immediately; toolbar restart returns to the start screen.
Controls
- Touch or mouse: tap or drag across the orchard to steer the basket. No hover is required.
- Keyboard: focus the orchard and hold Left / Right or A / D. Space or Enter starts or replays a harvest.
- Use the toolbar for pause, help, restart, optional sound, and fullscreen.
Tips worth knowing
- Move toward the next fruit while it is still high in the orchard.
- Use the landing shadows to separate fruit from burrs.
- Stay beneath the fruit until it reaches the basket rim.
- Golden pears are a bonus, but an apple still advances the harvest by one fruit.
Accessibility
- Tap or drag with no hover or keyboard required.
- Arrow keys and A / D support horizontal steering.
- Fruit and burrs have distinct silhouettes as well as colors. This is a visual reaction game.
- Reduced motion removes decorative transitions; falling objects and basket movement remain essential.
- Optional sound and pause are available in the toolbar.
Questions
What does Orchard Catch save?
Only your best score from a finished harvest, in this browser’s local storage. Runs do not resume after reload or closing. Storage unavailable means scores cannot be saved. Other games’ saves are preserved.
What counts as a spill?
A fruit that passes the basket or a spiky burr caught by the basket. Each adds one spill. A burr falling past the basket is harmless. Five spills end the harvest.
Is there a timer?
No countdown. Fruit arrives in a fixed sequence and gradually falls faster. Catch 20 fruit before five spills to finish successfully.
