Welcome to Fruit Catcher by Team Alpha! This thrilling arcade-style game lets players catch falling fruits, avoid dangerous poisons, and chase high scores in a world of quirky power-ups. With two distinct versions, there’s fun for everyone!
- FruitGame - A face-tracking version where you move your head to control the character.
- FruitGame Arcade - A classic arcade-style version with traditional controls and a range of power-ups.

In this version, players control their character by moving their face to align with the falling fruits. Simple and fun, it’s perfect for playing with friends!
- Game Controls: The game uses face-tracking to detect head movements that guide the character’s “lips” to catch fruits.

- Objective: Score as many points as possible by catching fruits while avoiding poisons.
This version is designed for casual play and social fun, showcasing simple gameplay with face-tracking.
The Arcade version of Fruit Catcher offers a more feature-rich experience with classic controls and extra power-ups. It uses a keyboard or game controller for movement.

- RainyFruits: Blue drops that trigger a special event, causing a mixed storm of fruits and poison.
- Power-Ups:
- Extra Heart: Gain an extra life, up to a maximum of three hearts.
- BigBoards: Temporarily increase the player’s size, making it easier to catch fruits.
- RainyFruits: Summon a short burst of additional fruit and poison falling at rapid speeds.
