Firefly Catch puts you in a dark meadow with a net. The gold fireflies are the ones to catch. The pale flickering ones are not, and letting them go is as much the game as catching the others.
That pause, the tiny moment where you nearly swing and then do not, is the bit people tell me feels useful. It is a go and no-go game underneath, but it looks like a summer night.
Catch a few in a row and your lantern glows brighter, until dawn comes up and the round ends on its own. Miss a handful and nothing happens except a slightly dimmer lantern. There is no failing screen.
A night runs a couple of minutes, which makes it an easy focus game online to open between two other things.
It works with a mouse or a finger, free, in your browser, no account needed.
If you want more, we wrote about why soft, low-stakes focus works this way if you like the theory behind it.
