About Ball Catch
Ball Catch is a colourful ball catching game. Balls in four colours rain down from the sky; slide your bucket under them until every counter at the bottom reaches zero. Each world drops its own hazard instead of a plain black ball, from rotten apples and spiky sea urchins to flower pots, popcorn bombs and ice blocks, and every one takes a life, so keep the bucket out of their way.
The levels keep coming and keep getting faster. Gold balls pay coins from level 3, rainbow balls count for whichever colour has the most left from level 5, and balls start swaying sideways from level 7. Every fifth level is a Ball Rain bonus with no black balls, and every tenth is a Storm worth double coins. Behind it all is a real world that changes every three levels: green hills with barns and windmills, a beach with palms, a city at sunset, a fun fair, snowy peaks and a desert at dusk.
Coins buy a better catcher, one step at a time: a beach pail, a picnic basket, a wooden barrel that knocks one hazard away each level, a treasure chest that pays more for gold balls and a golden cauldron that knocks two away, each a little wider than the last. Coins also buy colour finishes for it, including Starry and Golden ones that leave a trail of sparkles and a Rainbow one, and upgrades: Extra Lives and Coin Bonus. It runs in the browser on phones, tablets and computers with no download.

How to play Ball Catch
- Tap play to start the level.
- Hold and drag left or right to slide the bucket under the falling balls.
- Catch balls until all four colour counters at the bottom reach zero.
- Avoid the hazards (black balls, or each world's own hazard: apples, urchins, flower pots and more): each one takes a life (the grey counter), and losing them all ends the level.
Controls
- Computer
- Hold the left mouse button and move the mouse left or right.

Tips
- A rainbow ball counts twice for the colour you have most left, so chase it.
- Swaying balls change direction: wait for them to drop low before you move under them.
- Grab the gift boxes for coins and the lightning boost to clear every ball on screen.
