About Drop Zone
Drop Zone is a catching game. Gold orbs fall from the sky and you slide your basket to catch them, while dark bombs must be avoided. Miss too many gold orbs or catch too many bombs and the run is over.
How to play
- Drag across the board or press the arrow keys to move the basket.
- Catch the gold orbs. Avoid the dark ones.
- Collect enough gold before you run out of lives or let six drops through.
Tips and strategy
- Check the colour before you move.
- Stay near the middle so every column is reachable.
- Do not chase every orb. Protect your lives first.
Levels, stars and XP
Finish a level to earn one to three stars and XP towards your player level. Replay any unlocked level to improve your stars. From level 151 the game enters endless mode, where each level is a remix of an earlier one with fresh colours and a slightly higher difficulty.
