WigglePlay
Free games built for disabled children to play through movement. The camera watches, and the screen answers with gentle colour and sound. No touch, switches or controllers needed.
First games
Cause and effect. Any movement makes something happen, and nothing can go wrong.
-
Musical Colours
Any movement fills the screen with slowly blending colour and soft music.
Play -
Surprise Friends
Any movement brings a new animal friend onto the screen with its own little tune.
Play -
Balloon Pop
Balloons float up the screen. Move to pop them, with a real pop and a shower of pieces.
Play -
Woodcutter
Every movement swings the axe. Chop the tree down, pile up the logs and level up.
Play -
Music Wall
Move on one side of the screen to light that pad and play its note.
Play -
Walking Animals
Look left or right and a friendly animal walks that way. Close your eyes and it falls asleep.
Play
Choosing games
For children ready to pick between things. Move so the ring sits on a choice and hold it there, or use touch, keys or a switch.
-
Spot the Odd One
Find the animal that is different from the others.
Play -
Shape Fit
Pick the hole the shape fits and watch it glide into place.
Play -
How Many?
Count the animals, then pick the matching number.

Find the Pair
Turn over cards to find two animals the same.

Ask for a game, or build one
Want to work on this together? That would be great. Email moeghaf@gmail.com or open an issue on GitHub to say hello, or to ask for a specific game to be built for your child. You could even try vibe coding a game yourself. It is very easy to do.

Ten of these games are our own takes on ideas from the free switch-accessible games at CerebralPalsyCenter.com: Surprise Friends, Balloon Pop, Music Wall and all seven choosing games. Each is rebuilt with new code, art and sound so it can also be played by movement through the camera.
