Catchyard

Features
Read full description

A rocket is coming down. Your tower has two arms. Don't miss. Catchyard is a space rocket game about the most nerve-racking part of spaceflight: bringing the booster home. Take over a falling rocket, fire its two engines, line it up with the tower and let the catch arms grab it – gently, or it all goes up in flames. ROCKET CATCHING • Two-engine controls: left engine pushes right, right engine pushes left, both together lift you up • Watch your speed and tilt – too fast and the arms won't hold • Grab fuel from drones and tankers along the way SEVEN WORLDS, ONE RIVAL • Start in the rusty harbour of Rustcove, then climb Shroomrock, cross Mistsea, dive into Icetooth and go further • Every world has its own hazards: thermals, fog banks, rogue waves, lightning, low gravity, sandstorms, laser gates • Orbitron wants every tower in the system. Beat it to the contracts and finish at its own station • Hundreds of levels – and when a world's story ends, it keeps going BUILD THE SHIPYARD • Take contracts from the board and get paid for every clean catch • Upgrade your tower, drones and crew • Bid at the tower auction to open new worlds MAKE IT YOURS • Rocket skins, exhaust trails and catch celebrations • Three stars on every level Short levels, simple controls, real physics. Play offline – your progress is backed up when you're online.
