Translation: It's like Mario Maker where you can create your own stages. Actually, it's even cooler – it's like making a game within a game. What do I mean? You can design your own stages in this game. And guess what? You can share them with others! It's kind of like how you create and share on Scratch. And there's more! You can even "remix" stages created by others. Is this genius or what? Super impressive... They even have features like following and followers. The game itself says it – there's a complete "community" inside the game. It's so unique and definitely a top-tier game.

A side-scrolling adventure where you zoom along hills in cars or motorcycles. While you can compete with others for total points as a racing element, that's just a bonus feature.
The real thrill is in managing your speed while continuously pushing forward.
That's all there is to it—yet somehow it's incredibly addictive. What makes such a simple concept so entertaining? There's only one way to find out—hit that accelerator!

It's Mario, but it's Minecraft! Steve, the male skin of Minecraft, is now Mario.
It's a great remix of Mario and Minecraft, with mushrooms being potions and pipes being chests.
You don't have to know anything about Minecraft to enjoy it, so give it a try.
If you know Microcosmos, you'll say, "Oh!" The result is a very good one.

This game is where you change your color with the space key, trying to reach the blue bar. Super fun and cleverly thought out! When you're red, it's safe to touch red, and when you're blue, you can touch blue. But make sure to match the color of the bar before you reach the goal. Never touch green. And yellow? That's your jump pad! Give it a try and experiment with different moves.

A non-Euclidean adventure that's absolutely mind-bending! In this Scratch project, what you see and the actual space are completely different. As you move through rooms, you slip into a world where normal physics just don't apply. Turn right four times and you won't end up back where you started, or step through a tiny doorway into a massive room.
Technically, it creates non-Euclidean space through clever placement of rooms and portals. Each tile has embedded coordinate data for teleport destinations - when players touch specific squares, they instantly warp elsewhere. But visually it all looks like continuous space, creating this amazing illusion. Enjoy the quest to find all the lemons!
If you also have any recommendations, let me know in the comments on my Scratch profile!

A side-scrolling game that can be played simply by clicking or using the spacebar. The player jumps and collects coins while avoiding cones. The screen scrolls on its own, so the player only has to click the mouse while looking at the cute cat. It's so cute that you can say all your work collecting coins and avoiding cones is for the sake of this super-cute cat.

Take control of a pirate captain whose ship has been shipwrecked, collect the island’s treasure, and escape! The picture is quite beautiful and good. Gameboy-like taste. Jumping does not have to be too accurate so you can play without stress. Once you get the map in each stage, you can move on. But if you die even once, you will have to go back to the beginning of the stage and start over, so it might be hard if you get hooked!

This escape game is different from the ones I've played before, as it is an adventure game where you control the main character and continuously move to the left. There is a story page that explains why the protagonist must escape, which makes the game more engaging and enjoyable as you progress. The controls are simple! Just click the mouse to make the character jump or walk. I think this game is suitable for everyone, from children to adults, so please give it a try.

This is an example of a scrolling game where the player dodges flying obstacles. You can instinctively tell that the character only moves up and down due to the lever. There is sound, but you can mute the sound or just the sound effect on the menu screen. That's consideration for the player. Nice. It made me realize consideration is the source of creativity. The speed at which the obstacles come flying changes depending on the level, so by all means try the Impossible Level (they fly by in 0.5 seconds). The way the countdown works is simple and skillful as well. Take a look and check it out. Highly recommended sample.

Side-scrolling game to let birds fly away, avoiding voltage running through the electric wires. The controls are simple. The main action is just to move the electric wires up and down. You may get hit by electricity a few times, but the simplicity of this game should be enjoyable for all ages and countries. Popular Scratch side-scrolling games are usually shooting games where you jump and shoot enemies or Mario-like games where you stomp on enemies and break blocks, but the concept of this game is different all together. You get close to birds or dolls(?) that are perched on electric wires, and you get points by making them fly away. What an amazingly peaceful idea. The feature of moving up and down multiple lanes is also creative.

The characters in this game are incredibly adorable. The overall atmosphere is warm and comforting, which I found very soothing. The controls are simple, so it's easy to get used to them and progress in the game. Since the game itself isn't too complex, I believe it's suitable for beginners. I think it might even be a good starting point for someone who's never played a computer game before. I was able to enjoy the game while feeling relaxed and entertained.

You can attack the boss pigeon by attaching the tentacles, and deal damage by rapidly left-clicking once you find it. Currently, the game ends after clearing Stage 1, but more stages are eagerly anticipated.

Basketball side-scrolling game. It is not basketball. A game you dribble the ball while avoiding obstacles.
You’ll get heated. It’s fun. You can dribble with the spacebar or mouse, but it’s insanely hard. The live video has also been uploaded, so check it out. My best score was 418. Bad? No, do try it. It is tough. But really exciting. And the sound is cool. The main theme song, which asks “Are You Ready?” in a thick voice, is used in combination with a sub-soundtrack, which is quite austere and well-crafted. This is the kind of project that makes you think, “The soul is in these details, isn’t it?”

This is a side-scrolling game featuring soft and cute characters hopping through obstacles. At the start of the game, you can change the character by using the arrow at the bottom of the screen. Use the left and right mouse clicks to jump, and click again during a jump for a double jump. As the game auto-scrolls, make sure to predict the landing spots and avoid falling into holes. If you hit a wall or fall off a cliff, you'll lose and have to restart.
Along the way, collecting blue orbs will slow your speed to half, while green orbs will double your speed. Since controlling the character becomes very difficult with the green orbs, try to avoid them as much as possible.

Since the scrolls always appear in the same location, it's essential to memorize the pattern and get accustomed to it. When collecting the scrolls, they are arranged in a flow from right to left and left to right, so it might be easier if you can control the ninja according to the flow.

You have a lot of lives, and even if you hit some enemies and your lives decrease, you can go on and on.

The biggest technical breakthrough in this Scratch game has to be the wall-jumping mechanism that lets you bounce between sides and the endless obstacle generation system! When players hit the left/right keys or spacebar, you hear that satisfying "wall kick" sound as you smoothly zip to the opposite wall - that's the heart of the whole game. Behind the scenes, there's this clever clone spawning system where multiple sprites work together to create a world where spikes and coins just keep popping up forever. What's really slick is how clones automatically delete themselves when they go off-screen, keeping the memory usage tight. The gradual speed ramp-up as you progress is masterfully done too - it's simple on the surface but seriously deep design!

Books were stolen by demons from the library. Take control of the librarian, defeat the demons and get the books back! Only three books are left, and as the stage progresses, you can power up with the abilities written in the books. For now, use a basic attack sequence to defeat enemies and advance through the stages. The order of how you increase your power may be important to clear the game. It is interesting to play while looking for an efficient way to clear the stage.

This is a game in which you control a frog robot as it progresses through a cave. The basic movement of the frog robot is jumping.
What makes this game unique is that the length of time the up key is pressed determines the strength of the jump. Until you get used to it, the timing of jumping and moving may be difficult. I like the retro game-like screen with rough dots.

There are no enemy mobs, and you can learn how to scroll horizontally, how to jump and walk. This is great for when you need a good example of a scrolling game so take a look.

A scrolling game in which you collect coins while flying with a rocket backpack. The rocket rises quickly, but there's a little lag before it starts falling, and I feel it requires a bit of technique to control. Personally, I found this lag to be what triggered my addiction for this game. You can see the creator's attention to detail in the gradation of the sky when floating up and down, and the way the character's neck moves when it rises up. This would be a fun one to remix in so many ways!

In the "No Double-Dipping!" game, the key is to tap the moment you spot someone about to dip their kushikatsu twice into the sauce! The satisfying part is catching that split second when they're mid-munch and reach for the sauce again. Nailing them right before they double-dip scores you bonus points, but call it out too late and you get hit with a "Too Slow" penalty. On the flip side, falsely accusing someone who wasn't even dipping gets you slapped with "Miss" or "Pointless" penalties. The snappy controls and perfectly balanced difficulty are chef's kiss, and when you nail it, that crisp "PARIN!" sound effect with the flashy explosion is pure dopamine! As you level up, sneaky moves like "fake-outs" and "pretend double-dips" start popping up, cranking up the thrill of reading people's moves.

In this cute 3D side-scrolling game, you control adorable characters. Floors and spikes will appear and disappear, reducing your life, but they follow a completely consistent rhythm. Carefully time your actions to progress through the levels. Although the stages are long, there are checkpoints along the way, allowing you to restart from those points if you lose. The level selection screen can be accessed by pressing the spacebar or clicking on the top of the screen. The game has responsive controls, and the background music gives off a relaxed "Mega Man" series vibe.

A scroll game with a vintage visual style
Like many side-scrolling games, the background images (obstacles) are created using a single sprite. The trick is to give one sprite many costumes and switch between them.
The highlight of this game is how neatly and simply the obstacle sprite's code is organized.

In the 1960s, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the United States implemented a plan to
use cats for espionage activities called "Acoustic Kitty". This game is based on that plan, in which the cat tries to fulfill its mission.
There are three games available, all of which are simple...but quite challenging!
It's addictive, wanting to do it all over again when you fail.
It would be fun to make it a game of competing for scores. So many ways to remix this project so have fun.

The biggest standout feature of "this Scratch project" is definitely its custom font system with unique rendering capabilities! What's technically impressive isn't just the display itself, but how it actually renders font characters pixel by pixel. Inside the program, font data is stored as long number sequences, which get decoded and drawn one pixel at a time using the pen tool.
Dynamic info like character counts and mineral numbers also get displayed in real-time through this custom font system. What's particularly cool is how you can freely adjust font size and color. Since you can change the display based on game state, the UI feels super polished!
Thanks to this system, you can achieve complex text displays that would be tough with Scratch's standard features alone. It's pretty advanced stuff, so it might be worth incorporating into your own games!

Glittery background music and characters made with coarse dots. The game is about taking an old man who is blind with a cane to a park by controlling a guide dog. But for some reason, zombies and birds will attack him, so use the arrow keys to protect the old man by hitting the enemy characters with your body.
Although the controls are quite easy, the difficulty level is high because you have to pay attention to both the left and right sides of the screen, and it is difficult to find the right moment to hit the enemy with your body and knock him down.

The coolest thing about this Scratch game is its dynamic difficulty system using speed variables! The game automatically ramps up as the player's score increases. What's really clever is how it factors in the player's Y-coordinate too - jump and the speed temporarily spikes, making things trickier. This adds real tension to what could otherwise be a monotonous side-scroller. Plus, they've synced the costume-switching cycle to the speed variable, so the character animation naturally adapts to match the pace. Pure genius!

This is a scrolling game which mercilessly judges your jump timing and distance. As soon as you hit an icicle, you've failed, and you'll be returned to the starting point with the red button. These judgements are pretty harsh, so you just have to keep failing to make progress. The character you're controlling looks like a black square box with eyeballs which is pretty unique. These eyeballs face the direction you're moving in and it's quite addictive.

The biggest standout feature of Robbery Cat is its clever implementation of "animation and AI"! Enemy movement isn't just random - it actually uses a technique called raycasting to simulate realistic vision. When players enter an enemy's line of sight, they'll genuinely chase after you. This works by casting rays in a 60-degree cone that stop when they hit walls or reach a certain distance. Once they spot the player, they switch to pursuit mode and head straight for you. That heart-pounding tension when you get caught? That's all thanks to this nifty technique!

The most fascinating aspect of this Scratch game lies in its physics engine implementation! It generates terrain using Bézier curves and creates a system where cars drive over that surface to simulate vehicle behavior.
What's particularly intriguing is the gravity and collision detection - it calculates the angle between the car body and ground to apply appropriate forces, achieving realistic movement. There's even a built-in system that detects mid-air rotations (backflips and regular flips) and adds points when successfully executed.
To create that "satisfying" gameplay experience, it incorporates detailed touches like engine sounds, suspension movement, and wheelie states during airtime. While the controls are simple, the physics calculations generate unpredictable behavior that creates an addictive quality that keeps you coming back for more!

The biggest quirk of this Scratch project is how the ground moves based on the character's position! When the player goes right, the ground shifts right; go left, and it shifts left—super intuitive controls. They pulled this off using clones. There are invisible sprites positioned on the left and right that detect whether they're touching specific colors. When they do, a ground-movement variable gets updated, and the ground moves accordingly. That's what creates the satisfying scroll-action feel. Plus, the difficulty ramps up automatically, so the longer you play, the more challenging it gets!

The key to this Scratch game is the "satisfying" control feel! You control a floating player character that follows mouse movements with subtle force dynamics. The secret is using the "difference between mouse coordinates and current position" multiplied by 0.1, creating that perfect sensation where the farther you are, the faster it moves, and the closer you get, the gentler it becomes. Plus, there's a neat visual touch where the costume inflates based on the distance from the mouse, giving you that intuitive sense of spacing. It's a brilliant control system that truly captures that "floating weightlessly" sensation!

What makes this Scratch game brilliant is the dramatic flair when you draw the "Extra Wasabi" card! The experience design is masterfully crafted - you're on edge with the character as you make your choice. When players pick food items, the character delivers genuine reactions that just feel so satisfying. The flashy "Oh no! This is insane!" effects and screen shake when they bite into something spicy are absolutely perfect! The sound design hits all the right notes too, capturing both the shock of failure and the sweet relief of success. Creating these "feel-good" moments is what game design is all about!

What's really fascinating about this Scratch game is the enemy AI behavior! The guard programming is particularly clever. When a guard spots the protagonist, it switches "walk v" to "c (confused)" and turns toward the player for a 2-second observation period. If the player's still in sight during this time, it triggers a "BUSTED" message and game over. Rather than just simple collision detection, this actually simulates the act of "seeing," which creates genuine tension as players duck behind cover or time their movements carefully. It's a brilliant capture of what makes stealth games so thrilling!

If you're thinking, 'Ah, another typical platformer, alright, alright... Huh? Can't jump. Is it bugged?' then you're already caught in the magic of this game.
This isn't just any action game. Experience it for yourself, there are plenty of stages. Think you can clear them all? It's a piece that deserves more recognition.

As a huge Metal Gear Solid fan, this makes me so happy! Snake has made his way to Scratch - absolutely amazing. Those stealthy spy moves where you sneak around and take down enemies are just so damn cool. And they've tried to recreate that in Scratch, which is incredibly exciting. The difficulty level is probably pretty high. You might not know what to do at first, but just press C and grab that cardboard box at the top - enemies won't spot you as easily. While you're hidden like this, hunt for items. Items are the things that spin in place without moving around. Once you snag an item, check what it is by pressing C to select it, then hit spacebar to use it. I really want to keep practicing in mission mode where you take out enemies. I realized that Metal Gear isn't actually that famous in the Scratch community, which is surprising. But despite that, someone created this incredibly cool Metal Gear Scratch game - thank you so much! (^o^)
