FAQs
How does the difficulty increase during gameplay?
The game progressively becomes harder as your score increases. Orbs fall faster, spawn more frequently, and the spawn rate accelerates every 10 points, creating an increasingly challenging experience.
What's the difference between difficulty modes?
Easy mode gives you 5 lives and a wider basket for beginners. Normal offers balanced gameplay with 3 lives and medium basket width. Hard mode challenges experts with only 1 life, narrow basket, faster gravity, and rapid orb spawning.
How does the fairness system work for orb spawning?
The game uses a smart fairness algorithm that ensures orbs spawn within reasonable distance of your last position. This prevents impossible situations where orbs appear too far away to catch, making gameplay feel fair and responsive.
Can I switch between mouse and keyboard controls during play?
Yes! The game automatically detects your input method. Use the mouse for precise, instant basket positioning, or switch to arrow keys for smooth controlled movement. The game seamlessly transitions between control styles.
What happens when I miss an orb?
Missing an orb causes you to lose one life, triggers a damage flash effect, creates screen shake, and plays a damage sound effect. The game becomes more challenging as you progress with fewer lives remaining.
Are there any special visual effects in the game?
Yes! The game features neon trails on falling orbs, particle explosions when catching orbs, screen shake on damage, a pulsating damage overlay, glowing cyberpunk aesthetics, and an animated starfield background for immersive visual feedback.
How is the high score system handled?
Your best score is automatically saved locally in your browser and persists between sessions. The game displays your current score, remaining lives as hearts, and your all-time best score both during gameplay and on the menu screen.
