About this challenge
Rainbow Paintbox is challenge 10 in the ten-part Star Catcher collection. It uses the same core rules as the other challenges in this family, with its own settings: goal: 25; movement speed: 215 px/s. Choose it when you want a hard round, or use the previous and next buttons to adjust the challenge.
Rules and controls
Move the catcher under the falling paint objects before too many get away. Move the basket with your pointer, Left and Right, or the on-screen controls. Your result appears above the board when the round ends. Restart begins a new round; it does not continue the previous board. The game keeps a small record of completed rounds in this browser.
Make your next round better
Track the lowest paint first and move underneath it. Watch the next falling object before making a long trip across the board. If the current challenge feels too demanding, go back one level and focus on the basic pattern before increasing the pace or board size.
Playing on a phone
The board adapts to the width of your screen. Use the displayed buttons or direct touch controls. For word and number inputs, tap the text field to bring up the keyboard. Put your phone in portrait orientation for the clearest view of the controls. Timing games may feel different across devices because screens and input hardware respond at different speeds.
