21Bit

Every round of 21Bit starts the same way: the first egg drops, and you have to move. This is a catching game about quick decisions, careful positioning, and knowing when to risk chasing a golden egg versus holding position for what comes next.

21Bit sends three types of items falling from the top of the screen: white eggs worth 10 points, gold eggs worth 50 points, and rocks. Your basket needs to catch the eggs and avoid the rocks. Catching a rock costs one of your three lives. Letting a non-rock egg hit the ground also costs a life.

The goal in each round is to reach the target score before your lives run out. Target scores vary by difficulty: Easy requires 200 points, Medium requires 350, and Hard requires 500. As the difficulty rises, so does the rate at which rocks appear and the base speed at which everything falls.

Items in 21Bit also get faster as each round progresses. Even on Easy difficulty, the pace builds over time, meaning a round that starts comfortably can become intense towards the end. Hard difficulty starts fast and only gets faster — pushing your reflexes to their limit.

Gold eggs appear on all difficulty levels in 21Bit, but their frequency increases on harder settings. Catching them consistently is the surest route to meeting the score target before lives run dry.

21Bit fits perfectly into a spare few minutes, although the score targets keep you coming back for one more round.
