Catch the Tools

Score: 0 0:30

Ready?

Catch as many tools as you can in 30 seconds.

Move the basket and catch as many OllTools icons as you can in 30 seconds — a quick, silly way to discover tools you haven't tried yet.

How it works

  1. Hit Start, then drag the basket (or use the arrow keys) to move it left and right
  2. Catch as many falling tool icons as you can before the 30-second timer runs out
  3. When time's up, see your score, your best score, and a link to every tool you caught

Frequently asked questions

What is this?

A tiny promotional game built from the same cover images used across the site's tool cards — it doesn't track which real tools you use elsewhere.

Is my score saved anywhere?

Only your best score, and only in your own browser's local storage — it's never sent to a server.

Can I play again?

Yes — hit "Play again" on the results screen as many times as you like.

Update history

  • 2026-08-31 Fixed: the basket's catch zone was computed from its bottom offset alone, missing its own height — a genre-wide bug class found via a Color Match user report. Catches now register against the basket's real top edge.
  • 2026-08-31 Added: sound effects for catching a tool, starting a round, and the round ending — with a mute toggle next to the score.
  • 2026-08-31 Launched: a tiny promotional catching game (no button) — drag the basket and catch as many tool icons as you can in 30 seconds, with a results screen showing your score, best score, links to every tool you caught, and share options. Entirely client-side.
