Play Star Catch online
Star Catch is a catch-the-falling-objects arcade game: you are Milo, the night keeper, catching stars in a basket.
Stars rain from the sky for 90 seconds. Every catch scores, chained catches build a combo multiplier up to x5.
Golden stars are worth 50 points each. Meteors are trouble: catch one and you lose a life — you only have three.
Score 1000 points before the clock runs out to win. Your best score is saved in your browser. How many stars can you catch?

Tips for a better run
Keep moving — a star you let fall breaks your combo chain.
Golden stars are worth five normal stars: cross the whole sky for one if you can.
Meteors cost a life only if you catch them, so step aside and let them crash.
Chained catches raise the multiplier: three in a row doubles every catch after that.
Watch the top of the screen, not the basket — early reads win the long falls.
Frequently asked questions
How do I play?
Move Milo's basket left and right with Arrow keys, A/D, the mouse, or a touch drag. Stars fall from the night sky — catch them in the basket before they hit the ground.
Any strategy tips?
Chain catches without missing to raise the multiplier up to x5, and always chase the golden stars (50 points each). Meteors are the danger: catching one costs a life, but letting a meteor hit the ground is free — so dodge them.
Is Star Catch a copy of another game?
No. Star Catch is fully original: Milo the night keeper, the falling-star rules, and all code, art, and audio are original works. It takes the general catch-the-falling-objects arcade genre as inspiration but references no existing games, films, or franchises.
