Catch-it-ball
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
The Game
My, how the tables have turned! In this game, you must play as the hoop and catch the basketballs falling from the ceiling. You can choose between 3 lives or 30 seconds, but you can't have both. I have built this contraption with 4 modes:
Mode One:
Use one hoop to try and catch as many as you can in either 5 lives or 30 seconds.
Mode Two:
It's the same as mode one, but more chaotic. Now you control two separate hoops, switching between them as you go!
Mode Three:
Control one hoop and two bounce pads (they can either be a second chance or a hindrance!). This is where complete chaos begins.
Freeplay:
Try to get as few misses and as many catches as you can! In this mode, there is no time or life limit, so you can play to your heart's content! You can choose to freeplay in mode one, two or three from the freeplay menu.
For the players looking for an added challenge, there are 8 collectible achievements, 2 of which are secrets to discover!
The Controls
Use your mouse to navigate the menus and move the hoops. On modes two and three, use a and d (or arrow keys) to switch between active hoops. It's that simple!
[Warning - game may break if played on a non-16:9 monitor. I have tried my best to remedy this but there is no default way to fix it in unity.]

10/10 on everything
The game is REALLY fun!!! Do you plan on making it for mobile? Cause I'd love that!
I have one slight issue tho... I think the up and down mechanic is useless at the moment :/ You don't need it to catch the balls... I'd love it if you find a way to implement it nicer into the game play and make it important!
This is one of the games of all time.
In all seriousness, this is actually challenging. From the trailer I thought it was going to be easy… man was I wrong. The music, sound effects and art accompany together very nicely. Great Job!!!
i love balls
yes you do :)
balls love you
