What is Catch a Falling Star?

In this casual arcade game, you move a basket left and right to catch falling stars, then empty it at either screen edge to score points. Ice slows you down and occupies basket space, while wind pushes falling objects sideways. Star coins unlock extra basket capacity, basket designs, themes, and single-use power-ups.
