How to play Orchard Catch
Steer a wicker basket under falling apples, pears, and plums, fill market crate orders, and dodge bees, burrs, and rotten apples.
- Press Play. Fruit wobbles on the branches before it drops, and its shadow on the grass shows where it will land.
- Move the basket under the falling fruit. Drag anywhere on the orchard (the basket slides under your finger), move the mouse, or hold the arrow keys or A and D.
- The market crate shows the fruit it needs, and that fruit glows as it falls. Each one caught scores 100 points and fills a slot; any other fruit scores 30.
- Fill every slot to send the crate off for a bonus that grows with each crate, then a new order arrives. Every fifth full crate also restores a heart.
- You have three hearts. A fruit the crate needs that hits the grass costs half a heart. Catching a bee or a spiky burr costs a whole heart. A rotten apple costs no heart but spoils the crate, emptying the fruit already in it. Letting hazards and spare fruit fall costs nothing.
- Catch fruit in a row to build a combo: every five catches add half to the multiplier, up to three times the points. Losing a heart or catching a rotten apple ends the combo.
- Golden apples score 250 and fill any slot. Catch a bubble for a power-up: a wider basket, a slow breeze that halves the falling speed, or a fruit magnet that pulls nearby fruit in. A bar under each power-up shows the time left.
- Every full crate makes the orchard busier: burrs from crate 2, rotten apples from crate 3, plums and bees from crates 4 and 5, wind from crate 6, and more fruit falling at once. The harvest ends when your hearts run out.
