Cactus Moon
Catch falling desert fruit by moonlight.
A free arcade, for entertainment only — no prizes of any kind.
Playing a round
- Drag left and right to slide the woven basket along the sand.
- Gather ripe desert fruit — each clean catch adds Fruit Stars and grows your combo.
- Let withered fruit drop past the basket; catching one costs HP.
- Game ends when your HP reaches zero, and the basket widens every level, so late nights are riskier than they look.

Catch falling desert fruit by moonlight.
How long can you keep a woven basket under a desert moon before the spoiled fruit gets you? Cactus Moon is a catching arcade. Ripe prickly pears, saguaro fruit and desert figs drop out of the night sky, and you slide the basket across the sand to gather them. Withered fruit falls in the same stream, and catching one takes a bite out of your 100 HP. Clean catches build a combo multiplier and earn Fruit Stars to spend on boosts such as Moon Pull or Woven Guard. Eight ripe fruits, six spoiled ones, no final level: the fall keeps quickening until your HP runs out, so a round fits into a spare minute.
