About Coin Catcher
Coin Catcher is a quick reflex arcade game where coins fall from the top of the screen and you slide a basket left and right to catch them. Each coin caught adds to your score. Each coin missed costs you a life. The game speeds up steadily, so what feels easy at the start becomes a panic of overlapping streams thirty seconds in.
The fun of Coin Catcher comes from prioritisation. Once two or three coins are falling at once, you cannot catch them all. The good runs are the ones where you make clean decisions — go for the centre coin, abandon the edge, sweep across to catch the bonus. The bad runs are the ones where you chase every glint and end up missing all of them.
This Coin Catcher runs free in the browser with smooth touch and keyboard controls. There is no sign-up, no installer and no ads inside the gameplay. Your best score is stored locally between sessions. It is one of the most pick-up-and-play games on the site — a perfect five-minute break.

— Strategy & tips
How to win
- Centre yourself between catches. The middle gives you the shortest reach to either edge.
- Skip coins you cannot reach without missing a closer one.
- Watch the spawn pattern, not the falling coins. Spawns tell you where to be next.
- Bonus coins (gold or sparkling) are worth two normal coins — prioritise them.
- Slow steady movement beats panic dashing. You miss less than you think.
