The main objective is to catch or collect balls that fall from above, often increasing in speed or frequency as the game progresses.

Players typically control a basket, bucket, or a similar receptacle at the bottom of the screen using arrow keys, touch controls, or mouse movements.

The goal is to move this receptacle to catch the falling balls before they hit the ground or disappear.

Balls may vary in size, color, or point value. Some games feature special balls that provide power-ups or bonuses when caught.
