As the name suggests, CATCH A FALLING STAR is a 2D game about catching stars - or pug and android faces depending upon the level selected - and includes 45 Achievements to collect. We control a basket at the bottom of the screen and stars randomly fall downwards from the top. At the beginning things are relatively slow but speed up the higher score we gain. Controlling the basket is simplicity itself with the A and D keys to control left and right movement respectively. We start off with 3 lives and these are reduced whenever we miss a star, although to assist us there are numerous power-up tokens falling too which add (usually) temporary bonus effects. These can be either beneficial or detrimental in effect and include everything from adding / subtracting lives, coins and even adding wind strength and direction (making object movement more unpredictable) which adds nicely to the challenge. Very soon chunks of ice fall as well and these can be shunted with our basket to add to our overall score. Some even add coins to our total. Once our basket is full we move to the extreme edges of the screen to empty it, with the longer distance giving a double bonus score. Once our basket is fully loaded the action temporarily slows to allow us time to unload and move into position to collect the next falling object. Any coins collected during the game can be spent on a variety of purchases between attempts. These include bonus tokens, 5 background themes, increased basket size or a total of 24 different basket types to collect. The themes and baskets are merely cosmetic and all act in the same way but just with different graphics. Often we will find a favourite for both and stick with it. Numerous bonus tokens can be bought if we have the coins, although only a single purchased token can be used per run - but it is possible to collect more in the usual way. A settings menu allows us to change the jukebox music - a maximum of 6 tunes are available - as well as adjust the sound and music volume. We are unable to change the graphic sizes at all. Still, graphically the game is simple but adequate and it was (for me at least) reminiscent of the ARKANOID franchise. The animation remains smooth even when lots of things are happening onscreen. To collect all 45 Achievements much grind is necessary and as a result some players may find the game too repetitive and boring after a while. This was not the case for me though and I enjoy the game tremendously, especially when played in small doses.

An easy-to-pick-up arcade game that came bundled with Star Chronicles: Delta Quadrant for just 1,00€, making it a great deal. However, it becomes repetitive and reaching 5,000 points is very difficult. Despite that, it's still a decent and inexpensive game worth recommending.
