CatchRect

CatchRect is a fast arcade game built on one simple idea: a paddle, a stream of falling squares, and your reflexes. Squares rain down from the top of the screen. Slide your paddle — drag anywhere, or use the arrow keys / A and D — to catch the good ones and dodge the rest. You start with three lives; lose them all and the run is over. WHAT TO CATCH ⬜ White — points, the backbone of your score 🟩 Green — an extra life 🟦 Shield — blocks red hits for a few seconds 🟪 Slow Motion — slows every falling square for a few seconds WHAT TO DODGE 🟥 Red — costs a life, and some fall fast 🟧 Platform Slow — your paddle turns sluggish 🔀 Invert Controls — left becomes right FASTER EVERY 12 SECONDS No slow warm-up: the first square drops the moment you start, and every 12 seconds the game climbs a level. Squares fall faster, spawn more often, and your paddle shrinks. A ring next to the level counts down to the next speed-up. BUILD YOUR COMBO Catch white squares back-to-back to raise your multiplier: • 5 in a row → ×2 • 10 in a row → ×3 • 20 in a row → ×5 Catch a red square or let a white one slip past, and the streak resets. GO INTO FEVER Hold a ×5 streak and the game goes into fever: the screen heats up and the soundtrack kicks in harder until the streak breaks. MADE TO FEEL GOOD A synth soundtrack that builds with every level. Every white you catch plays a note, and a streak climbs the scale into a tune. A buzz when a red gets through and on every new level, a banner the moment you beat your best, and a pure-black mode for OLED screens. After every run you see how it went — time, level reached, whites caught, best combo, lives gained and shield blocks — and can send your best to the online leaderboard, where every score is a real one. How long can you last?
