What you’re building

A simple Vampire Survivors-style survival game in Scratch: move your character, collect coins, avoid enemies, survive the timer, and add health + clones.

Variables Loops If statements Broadcasts Clones
How to use this worksheet: Watch the videos, then complete the stages in order. Each stage page has bite-sized instructions and a “check” so you know it’s working.
How to use the videos (do this every stage):

You cannot watch the whole video and remember every step. Instead: watch ~30 seconds, pause, then build that section in Scratch. Repeat.

  • Split your screen so you can see Scratch and the video at the same time.
  • Windows: open Scratch and the worksheet/video, then press Windows key + Left Arrow to snap one app to the left. Click the other window to fill the right.
  • If you want Scratch bigger: drag the divider so Scratch takes about 2/3 of the screen and the video takes 1/3.
