How to make a Duck DODGING Game in Scratch

A Beginner-Friendly Block Coding Game Tutorial

Looking for a fun Scratch game project? In this beginner-friendly tutorial, you’ll learn how to make a smooth and addictive dodging game in Scratch, complete with enemies, scoring, and collectible rewards.

You’ll start by setting up a player character that follows the mouse smoothly across the screen. Then, you’ll add cloned duck enemies that fall from the top, and even introduce a special silver duck that works as a collectible coin. We’ll also create a scoring system and a simple game over screen to finish things off.

In this Scratch Game Tutorial, you’ll learn:

• How to use mouse tracking for smooth movement
• Creating clones to spawn falling enemies
• Using costumes to switch between enemy types
• Simple gravity and rotation effects
• Detecting collisions between sprites
• Creating score and game over mechanics

This project is great for Scratch users who want to explore game mechanics, cloning, and visual effects in a fun, engaging way. No prior experience needed, just follow along and start building!
