Firstly the gameplay itself is quite repetitive as its simplicity prevents it from having much depth: this is made somewhat worse by the first five minutes of each match, where stars fall down in a slow, bland fashion. Secondly, well, sometimes the star spawning will serve you with stars that are basically unreachable or put you into lose\/ lose situations: examples are stars spawning on complete opposite sides (sometimes 2-3 times in a row) or situationsa where you'll have to get an ice chunk to reach a star (making you slower and thus ultimately unable to get it).The lose-lose situations might be lessened if you decide to use your hard-earned currency to buy powerups rather than wait for them to fall from the sky. It's possible that activating a "basked speed up" bonus at the right time'd make certain star spawns possible but I question the need for such a system to be there when things'd easily be solved by simply changing the game mechanics a tad.Despite my complaints Catch a Falling Star is still an ok, albeit quickly forgettable, game if you're a fan of the genre and you can expect to enjoy it for a few hours before it gets tedious: for such a low price it's decent enough to get a thumbs up.. I am absolutely in love with this game! It seems to have no external purchases necessary, you can make gold super simple!Gold helps you buy new themes as backdrops (and some of them even change the way the stars look!). Gold drops down randomly, and it's a fun challenge to try to catch gold without letting stars "die" by hitting the ground.The mechanics are very simple: you move the basket on the ground with whichever keys you want, and you activate some special abilities that you can purchase via that gold with Shift or Y. You're trying to catch stars, avoid ice chunks, and catch power-ups while avoiding power-downs. There's a neat little wind mechanic that I've found useful (and good to keep an eye on).There is music, some of which is original some of which isn't, but it all fits really nicely into the themes.It is a delightful game. Definitely an Indie title, as it doesn't come with the bells and whistles of others. Even that, though, is something to love about it. It's simple, relaxing, and very enchanting! Highly recommend this to anyone!To the devs - you've done an amazing job. I'll keep an eye out on your other titles!.

Casual, relaxing and cute. Yay!. A type of catching game ... You can fall asleep haha: D Nothing interesting for me. The game can be for the elderly. I do not recommend. Waste of time ;). Catch a Falling Star describes itself as "casual and relaxing," and it's definitely telling the truth. As an autistic person with anxiety, I'm always on the look out for games I can play when I'm stressed out but don't want to be overstimulated. CaFS is a perfect fit! The game is endearingly simple: move your basket to catch falling stars and empty it at the edge of the screen when it's full. Blocks of ice and various status altering icons (which do things like increase the amount of ice, or slow down the stars' descent), as well as the occasional burst of wind, complicate this simple task, but they're not frustrating to navigate and instead keep the game from going stale. Collect coins to purchase in-game tweaks like more space in your basket, or spend them on cosmetic changes like basket and background design. The background music is soothing but isn't going to put you to sleep, and the sound effects are cute without being super sugary. I'm especially in love with the art style used for the backgrounds, which are simple but distinctly pretty, and the different basket designs. Looking forward to catching things in a coffee pot, eventually. :) I do agree with other reviews stating it doesn't have immediate replay value for most people because it's so simplistic, but for a buck, even a handful of plays is more than worth the price.. Most adorable game ever. Simple and easy to play.
