Catchstack

Coloured tiles fall toward your paddle. Slide under them to catch, then carry each tile over and drop it into the well below. Arrange three of the same colour in a row to clear it and free up space. Miss too many or overfill the well and the run ends.

• Catch falling tiles on the paddle
• Drop a held tile into the column you want in the well
• Make rows of three of a colour to clear them

• Daily, a shared seeded board everyone plays that day
• Practice, endless play to sharpen your timing

• Desktop: ← → or A / D move the paddle, ↓ or Space drop the tile into the well
• Phone & tablet: keyboard recommended for precise catching

• Plan the drop column before you catch so you're not stuck holding a tile
• Keep the well low and even rather than building one tall column
• Clear a row the moment two of its tiles match to make room for the next catch

Catchstack recreates the tile-stacking puzzle of 1990, catch tumbling tiles on a paddle and drop them into a well to make rows of three in any direction, clearing each wave's goal. An inventive cross between a falling-block puzzle and a catch game.
