Mechanics

Monster Catcher is a simple 2D game for children. There are two main characters in the game. The first one is the red bus as the player, another one is the brown monster as the enemy dropping from the top of screen. The goal of the game is to catch the enemies. The way of catching is to collide with the enemies by controlling the bus. The enemies will disappear if the player collides with them successfully, otherwise, the enemies will fall off the screen.

Objects, behaviours and style

The bus is a keystroke-based movable character, controlled by left and right arrow keys.
