Build a Bug Catcher Game

An easy game to get kids jazzed about programming is “Bug Catcher”, built by kids as they solve the mystery of Glitch Manor. Fun to play with friends, this game helps them apply the skills they’ve learned, in order to motivate them to do more with programming.

Bug Catcher Game

Built with Glitch Manor

Instructions: Click and hold the mouse pointer to steer the dragon. Eat the blue bugs and avoid the red ones!
