Gem Catcher is a fast, pick-up-and-play arcade game set in space. Gems rain down; your UFO can only collect the target gem shown at the top. Grab the right one to score and the target changes. Catch a wrong gem—or let the target gem slip past—and you lose a chance. Run out of chances and it’s game over!

How to play

  • Move your UFO left/right to line up with falling gems.

  • Only collect the gem that matches the target icon at the top.

  • After every correct catch, the target gem randomizes.

  • Miss the target gem or grab the wrong one to lose a chance (you start with 3).

  • Chase the highest score you can before you’re out of chances!

Controls

  • Keyboard: Left/Right Arrow keys

  • Mouse/Touch: Click-and-drag or touch-and-drag horizontally
