How a round goes
Forty-five seconds of falling fruit, coming faster as the round goes on. Fruit that drops cleanly into the basket is caught. Fruit that clips the rim bounces: off the inside edge it can still flick back in, off the outside it is gone.
Bombs fall too. Catch one and you lose two points and your basket is stunned for a second and a half, unable to move or catch.
Scoring and winning
One point per fruit, minus two per bomb, never below zero. Most at the buzzer wins; ties share. Alone, your count goes to the leaderboard.
Tips
- A bomb that clips its way in still goes off. Get out from under it rather than edging round it.
- A Little Kids seat gets a wider basket than the seat beside it, in the same round.
