About Acorn Catch

Acorn Catch is a gentle arcade game. Twenty acorns drift down the screen, and you slide a basket underneath to catch them. A few grey stones drift down too. They are harmless, and you can simply let them fall past. It is a gentle catching game for phones and computers.

There are no lives and no timer. Every round has the same twenty acorns, so there is no rush and nothing to lose.

  • Gentle arcade
  • Free to play
  • Phone, tablet and computer

How to play

  1. Press Play. Acorns and stones start to fall.
  2. Move the basket left and right. Drag it with a finger or the mouse, use the arrow keys, or press the two big arrow buttons on a touch screen.
  3. Catch as many of the twenty acorns as you can. Catching a stone does nothing.
  4. When the last one has landed, Mitsy counts your acorns and shares some honey.
  5. Choose Slow or Steady speed, and use Pause whenever you like.

Mitsy's cosy tips

Friendly hints for Acorn Catch

  • Look at where an acorn is, then move the basket a little before it arrives.
  • Stay near the middle between catches, so you can reach either side.
  • Small movements are easier than big swoops.
  • Mitsy's tip: if you miss one, forget it and watch the next.

Frequently asked questions

Simple answers for a calm play session

Is there a time limit?

No. Each round is twenty acorns, and the game ends after the last one lands. Pausing is always fine.

How does the honey work?

Catching 18 or more of the twenty gives three spoonfuls, 12 to 17 gives two, and any other round gives one. Ten spoonfuls fill his jar.

Is my best score saved?

Yes, on this device only. Your scores and honey stay in your browser, and nothing is sent to us.

Do I need to download anything or sign up?

No. It runs in your browser, with no accounts.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. Drag your finger across the screen, or use the two big buttons that appear on touch screens. On a computer, use the arrow keys or the mouse.
