What Makes Catch the Ark Stand Out

Can you survive the jungle and Catch The Ark in this amazing former EDITOR'S CHOICE game?

A flood is coming and Catch the Ark’s three adorable creatures Titan, Boon, and Zuzu haven’t got an invite to board Noah’s Ark. Armed with just a raft, the trio must brave the jungle rapids where outrageous hazards, hungry enemies, and even grumpy old Noah himself is out to ensure they don’t make it out alive. Can you catch the ark?

WITHOUT A PADDLE
Steer the creatures’ raft down perilous rapids filled with rocks, hungry crocs, snapping fishes, and Noah’s explosive barrels to out run the tidal wave behind you and catch the ark.

EYES ON THE PRIZE
Take in Catch the Ark’s stunning scenery, wild water and jungle packed with everything from monkeys to dinosaurs. Keep an eye on your raft-bound trio to see some hilarious reactions and rich animations.

A RAFT OF EXTRAS
Collect shiny coins and spend them in the in-game store on power-ups such as the Pterodactyl and new boats such as the Hovercraft and Rubber Ducky.

Game Features:
• Colorful graphics and impressive animations
• Easy to pick up gameplay that’s hard to put down

Community Insight:

This game was our childhood we just want to replay it.


This game was amazing please update it so it is playable again.


This game is perfect for when you want a classic.


We love this game but this could be a tv show and we would love to see it a help out and we love zuzu titan an boon.


Great game us and our brother love it ,it has a few glitches,but still cool.


Had to uninstall and lost everything but game works after reinstall. At least our multiplier is still active. We would play again if they optimized it for new devices. We would have liked to see more scenery or different islands.


Hello we love this game but in our iPhone 8 Plus doesnt run.


The game is amazing but the game work on our iPad and dont work on our iPhone x Can fix it.


This game is no longer playable as last version update belongs to 5 years ago Need urgent update now.


This is a great fun game to play, and our kids absolutely love it! Its one Id quickly recommend but for the following: a. The sound doesnt work after the intro cutscene. B. The game isnt properly optimized across devices. The menus tend to shrink into the bottom left corner of our iPhone 7plus and Ive seen similar complaints about that here as well. This is a great game, a truly great game. Please dont sleep on it. Please update and fix as soon as possible. Thanks.


We like this game but it's won't able to buy boat from coin. Need to make full size that our iPhone is 5.5. Please update to make fit size for iPhone 5.5.


It wont even open after we watch the intro.


Downloaded the app and after the intro was over the screen went completely black but our phone was still on. The game wouldnt work after that. It just kept going black. Please fix this.


So we don't want go,Oh this game is trash or don't waste your time or money we just wanna say this is not a good game it went blank when we first opened the game and didn't let us play it but we did figure out how to fix it but its quite hard, and when we tried to buy a boat it logged us out but that's all but we still don't reccomend.


The game is fun but it's needs an update to be compatible with IOS 11. We can't even access the game now. Please update the game.


It's a great game we been playing for years now, we mean you guys have such great idea to create a game like this, but you don't have time to update new stuff and make it better, feel bad about this game, we like this more than despicable us, save this game, would you.


Ahh please fix this game. Its the best.


We used to play this game all the time , when we tried it on our iPhone 13 Pro Max however, it doesnt get past the intro animation before locking up into a white screen. Ill revise our rating when that is resolved.


The game crashes after the beginning cutscene we have an Iphone 11, in case you need to optimize it.


An update to make it compatible with the latest versions of iOS would be nice, dont you think.


We loved the game but every time we finish the movie it crashed but if we tap it the screen go black can you pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeas fix it.


Its not opening on our phone,we dont know if its bugs but it has to be fixed.


We downloaded this game we bought the coin multipler and it didnt multiply anything so Im hoping the multiple our coins or give us a refund.


We used to love this game back in our Tablet and Older Iphones. Told our friends this is the reason we buy iPhone . But with the emergence of new iPhones and iOS, the game goes blank and doesnt open. Please fix this as soon as possible. Thanks.


Why you dont make update until now !! This game doesnt work with ios 11.


This game looks like it would be fun, but we've installed, deleted, reinstalled… Nothing. Just a blank screen, or it crashes. Please update.


Will not restore previous boats purchased when put on new iPad Air 2.


Great game but when we load the game it crashes. We can't buy boats upgrades or power ups please fix soon so we can play.


Great game. However, please update for iPhone 6 and 6 plus if possible. Users are not able to purchase boats, upgrades or power ups.


We like the game we do but we wish more was in it we're happy that there r no gems to buy like in other games and there's not a lot of ads which we were surprised from…! And we like how it was about the ark and stuff it's cool yeah just wish there was more that's all.


Love this app , but it would be even cooler if u added some things, like whales ,less expensive boats, new characters and yea.


This game use to work for a couple months now it just crashes. This needs to be fixed.


We love this app but lately we click on it and all we see is the title page and it crashes. What's going on.


This used to be fun casual game. But for the past few months it stop loading. We hope the developers fix this problem soon, since it cannot be legal to sell a broken product.


App doesn't work keeps crashing.


This game was fun after a couple weeks it stopped working! FIX IT!! All the game does is crash the ap doesn't even open. We payed for this and it's not fair that we don't get to use it -.-.


Would be fun if it worked! Don't waste your time. Programmers: Fix this.


…FIX YOUR APP ALREADY!!! We paid for it months ago, it worked for a couple weeks, and has been nothing but a crash machine ever since. How is it that updates still come along, and the app won't even open?! Big thumbs down.


Beast of a game! Glitch on rank 19 on the purchase of boats needs to be fixed.


This is a very fun game. 5 stars.


We love this game, but there is a glitch on mission 19 – as an objective it says we need to own 6 boats, which we do, then it says 8 boats to go. We will never be able to clear this objective.


Please update the game , the game don't work in iOS 7.


We like this new update it works fine on iPad and we like the mini ark boat.


How do you finish a game between 500m and 700m.


Absolutely love this game and our 4 year old does too! We can't wait to see how far we can go…… What is on the other side???? Love the game Mom and 4 year old.. :).


We really love this game, but we think the animals need some clothes to make them look cooler.


We love it. It works fine on iPad mini.


Exactly the kind we have been looking for that is fun, controls are self explanatory & Oh So Easy To Handle, & last but not least by any means Cute Characters Great Job Guys 4 Coming up w/a Rockin' Game TY TY TY TY TY.


We love that the green crocs were replaced with pink hypos, so much easier to spot them now.
