It helps both hand-eye co-ordination.\n* Missing an object will decrease your time by 5 seconds and multiplier by a half so don't miss. Time is never docked when the time remaining is under 10 seconds.\n* Grabbing stars will increase your score and multiplier.\n* Egg-timer objects will greatly increase time.\n* Ying-yang objects will greatly increase multiplier.\n* Circular objects with arrows suck all the objects into the void and give a fraction of any applicable bonuses.\n* Destroy invaders before they leave the screen or they will steal your time, multiplier and score.\n* The smaller the object, the higher the gains.\n* Destroy invaders in quick succession will grant a multiplier bonus every single hit.\n* For each 5 invaders destroyed in quick succession will grant a familiar 'killing spree' rank increasing your time multiplier every single hit.\n* Grab 5 or more grouped stars to get a super multiplier bonus.\n* Grab 8 or more grouped stars to get a mega multiplier and time bonus.\n* Shiny stars act as 5 stars only when clicked directly.\n* Get a multiplier and time bonus for every 100 stars accumulated.\n* Increasing stages gradually get harder with more and more invaders.\n* Gaining time when it is under 10 seconds gives you an extra bonus to time.\n* Completing a stage when the remaining time is under 30 seconds resets your time to 30 seconds, else you use the time you finished the stage with.\n\n## Keys…\n\n* `F`: Toggle full-screen mode.\n* `H`: High quality mode.\n* `L`: Low quality mode.\n* `M`: Medium quality mode.\n* `P`: Pause the game.\n* `Q`: Quit the game.\n* `S`: Stop music from playing.\n\n## Issues and other info…\n\nSince Flash is obsolete and one no longer has access to the Flash authoring software, the game can no longer be updated, unless someone knows a way to hack a legal CS6 Web Premimum for Mac to work on a ARM processor via Rosetta.\n\n* The game is 99.9% functional with the Ruffle emulator.\n* There is a bug that the background stars may appear off the stage.\n* (Ruffle) The title and stage complete music will not loop.\n* (Ruffle) The score does not update properly until it changes when starting a new stage.\n* (Ruffle) The quality and full-screen keys may not work.\n* (Ruffle) There is no thousand separators localisation.\n\n## Credits…\n\nAll graphics, music and most sounds were made by myself in Flash and GarageBand.\n\n## Copyright © 2013-2025 Mhatxotic Design.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmhatxotic%2Fstarcatch","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmhatxotic%2Fstarcatch","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmhatxotic%2Fstarcatch/lists"}
