Play Fruit Catch online
Fruit Catch is an original orchard arcade game: guide Pip the orchard keeper's basket under a rain of falling fruit, catch the good ones, and dodge the rotten ones.
Apples score 10, pears 20, and rare golden apples 50. Quick successive catches build a combo bonus of up to +25, so a hot streak can carry you to the 1000-point target fast — but one greedy grab for a rotten fruit costs a life.
You have 3 lives and 90 seconds. Fruit falls faster as the clock runs down, so late-game positioning matters as much as early speed. Your best score is saved in your browser.

Tips for a better run
Watch the top of the screen, not the basket — early reads let you glide instead of dashing.
Let rotten fruit fall: a missed apple costs nothing, a caught rotten fruit costs a life.
Chain catches inside the 1.5-second combo window; the bonus tops out at +25 per catch.
Golden apples are worth a risky dash, but never chase one through a rotten fruit's path.
Late in the run, fruit falls faster — stay near the middle so both sides are reachable.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move the basket?
Move with the Left/Right arrow keys, A/D, the mouse, or by dragging on a touch screen. The basket follows your pointer horizontally.
How does scoring work?
Apples are 10 points, pears 20, and rare golden apples 50. Catching fruit within 1.5 seconds of the previous catch builds a combo bonus of up to +25 per catch.
What happens if I catch a rotten fruit?
Catching a rotten fruit costs one of your 3 lives. Missing good fruit costs nothing, so let a rotten one fall rather than risk a life.
How do I win or lose?
Reach 1000 points within 90 seconds to win. Catching 3 rotten fruit, or running out of time below 1000 points, ends the run.
