Phones and computers

Orchard Basket is a fruit catching game that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for one player.

You move a basket to catch falling fruit in short rounds, building a streak multiplier with each ripe catch. Rotten fruit, marked by brown spots, halves the round's take. Coins buy 25 upgrades such as a wider basket, a magnet and a helper bird, and the last one, the golden harvest, is the final round.

Tips

Each ripe catch adds 0.1 to the multiplier up to ×3, and one rotten catch or a dropped ripe fruit resets it, so late mistakes cost the most.
The helper bird takes the most valuable ripe fruit on screen every few seconds, but its catches pay face value and do not grow your streak.
Rotten fruit grows more common with every tree unlocked and late in each round, and the compost bin turns a rotten catch into a 10% loss instead of half.

What is the golden harvest?

It is the last upgrade, costing 6,000 coins, and it only unlocks once you own the other 24. Buying it starts one final 20-second round of golden fruit worth 80 each with nothing rotten, and that round ends the orchard. Your score is the number of upgrades owned, so 25 is the most.

How do the sorting glasses help?

Rotten fruit looks like ripe fruit with brown spots, and the spots get harder to read as fruit speeds up late in a round. The first pair draws the spots bigger and the second pair outlines them as well, so a rotten piece stands out before it reaches the basket.
