How to play Cupcake Catch

How to play

Cupcake Catch is a fast, sweet arcade catching game. Treats rain from the bakery awning and you slide your basket along the bottom to catch them before they splatter. Classic cupcakes are worth 10 points, cake slices 25, and rare golden stars 50 -- but burnt black cupcakes tumble down too, and catching one counts as a miss. Letting a good treat hit the floor is also a miss. Three misses ends the run. As it goes on, treats fall faster and spawn more often, turning a relaxing bakery shift into a frantic juggling act.

Controls

Move with the Left and Right arrow keys or A/D. On a mouse, just move your pointer across the game and the basket follows. On touch screens, drag left and right. Press Enter to start or restart.

Tips

Streaks are where the big points live: every consecutive catch adds a growing bonus, and every eighth catch in a row triggers a 40-point combo. That makes burnt cupcakes doubly dangerous -- one bad catch wipes your streak and costs a miss. When a burnt cupcake drops toward your basket, dodge sideways rather than risk it. Golden stars fall slowly, so drift under them when they appear. Late in the run, treats arrive in clusters -- hover near the center so you can reach both sides fast.

Scoring

Cupcake 10, cake slice 25, golden star 50. Every catch adds a streak bonus of +2 per current streak (capped at +30), plus +40 at streaks of 8, 16, 24 and beyond. Burnt cupcakes caught and good treats dropped each count as one miss -- three misses ends the run. Your best score is saved between sessions.
