How to play Neon Catch
Neon Catch is a 60-second reflex run through a glowing data storm. Slide your neon basket along the bottom of the arena and catch everything good that falls: cyan orbs worth 10 points and rare gold shards worth 25. Mixed into the rain are magenta glitches — catch one and you lose a life. You get 3 lives, and the storm keeps falling until the clock runs out or your lives do. The longer you survive, the faster the rain gets.
Controls
On desktop, steer with the left/right arrow keys or A/D — or just move your mouse and the basket follows. On phones and tablets, drag your finger across the arena. The buttons under the arena start or restart a run.
Tips & strategy
Do not chase every orb — the real skill is knowing which ones to let fall. Glitches often drop right beside a juicy gold shard, so check the color before you commit. Small, smooth movements beat frantic sweeps: the basket is wide, and overcorrecting is how you slide straight into a glitch. As the rain speeds up, park near the center so no orb is ever more than a short slide away.
Scoring
Cyan orbs score 10 points, gold shards score 25. Glitches cost one life each — three and the run ends. Your best score is saved in your browser.
