About the Game

Freedom is just one well-thrown cousin away.

In Cousin Catcher, you’re an adult convict with a bold plan: escape prison by tossing your cousin into the air, over fences, across the yard, and eventually into outer space. Inspired by games like Learn to Fly, this chaotic physics-based launcher turns questionable family dynamics into your ultimate jailbreak.

Toss your cousin, upgrade their gear (boosters, parachutes, umbrellas, and more), and launch them farther and higher with every run. The higher they fly, the closer you get to freedom… and maybe family therapy.

With enough momentum, you’ll break out of Earth’s atmosphere and make your way to boundaries even past Mars because prison walls are temporary, but poor decisions are forever.

Features:

  • Launch your cousin with homemade gear and questionable judgment

  • Collect coins in the air to buy upgrades, gadgets, and more

  • Reach escape velocity and all the way to the Asteroid Belt!

  • Prestige and unlock wacky new ways to play the game

  • The law of gravity? Optional.

  • Ready, aim… THROW.
