Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Q What do the different power-up pickups do?

Purple Magnet: Attracts all falling items toward your basket for 6 seconds. Yellow Clock: Slows falling gravity by 50%. Cyan Shield: Absorbs a single bomb collision without penalty.

Q How does Endless mode differ from Timed mode?

Timed mode runs a 60-second timer where you maximize points. Endless mode gives you 3 hearts—missing a standard sphere or hitting a bomb costs 1 heart.

Q Can I use mobile gesture drag to guide the catcher basket?

Yes! Simply glide your finger horizontally anywhere across the lower screen area to guide the basket smoothly.
