Juggler — free browser game

Juggler is a circus act reduced to one reflex loop. A small juggler with two hands slides along the bottom of the stage while colourful balls trace parabolas above. Your only job is to keep every ball in the air. Gravity pulls each ball down; when it reaches the hand line and the juggler is underneath, it is caught automatically and tossed back up — angled slightly toward the opposite hand. That is the classic three-ball cascade: balls thrown from the right hand land on the left, balls thrown from the left hand land on the right, and you slide back and forth catching them in turn. Move the juggler with the left/right arrows or A/D for steady, predictable speed, or let it follow the mouse/touch position for smooth fine control. You start with three balls and three lives; if any ball passes the floor, you lose a life and it respawns from the top. Every 8 successful catches a new ball joins the act, up to a cap of six — past that, the difficulty comes purely from your reflexes. The score is your total catches, with your best run saved locally. Three lost balls end the run; press R or the on-screen button for a fresh attempt. Tip: most drops happen when you lose focus, so lock your eyes on the lowest ball — that is always the next catch. In the cascade pattern, staying near the middle and stepping into the centre of the falling arc is what good jugglers call 'good placement'; drift to a corner and the balls pile up there. Find a steady rhythm and separate the three phases of each catch: eye-track, step, hand.
