Stompasaurus
First Coding Puzzles for Kids
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Plan the steps, press Go, and watch the dinosaur walk your plan. When it bumps into a rock, you can see exactly which step was wrong - and fix it.
Plan the steps. Press Go. Watch the dinosaur walk your plan.
Stompasaurus is a first coding game for young children — no reading required, and no typing. You lay out a row of arrows, run it, and watch what happens.
WHEN IT GOES WRONG, YOU CAN SEE WHY
This is the part that matters. If the plan fails, three things point at the same mistake at once: a message saying which step went wrong, that step turning red in your plan, and the rock it bumped into lighting up on the board. Your child doesn't just learn that the plan failed — they see which instruction was wrong and what it hit, and they fix it. That is debugging, before they can read the word.
Nothing about failing is punished. No score, no lives, no timer. Change a step and run it again.
THREE SIZES TO GROW INTO
• Stomp — a small board, one egg, a handful of steps
• Trek — bigger, two eggs, and the order you collect them in starts to matter
• Quest — the full board, three eggs, and a plan worth thinking about
• Surprise Me! builds a brand new level whenever you want one
EVERY LEVEL IS CHECKED BEFORE IT SHIPS
Levels are generated fresh, then tested: reachable, never solvable by just walking in a straight line, and never so long it becomes a chore. Finish a level in the fewest possible steps and you earn a star.
MADE FOR SMALL HANDS
• Big arrow buttons, and arrows mean up, down, left and right on the board — no confusing turns
• One arrow moves one square, so every instruction has a visible effect
• Tap any step in your plan to remove it
• Solving it at all is a win; the shortest plan just earns a star
QUIET BY DESIGN
• No advertising of any kind
• No in-app purchases
• No internet connection required — it works in airplane mode
• No accounts, no sign-in, no email address
• Nothing is collected and nothing leaves the device
• Gentle sounds that can be switched off
