Number Catcher

Number Catcher is a free skip-counting game for Indian kids in Class 1. The garland lights up one number at a time. Your child has to tap only the numbers that fit the skip-count pattern — count by 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s — and let the others pass. Clear 20 levels in a row, and Free Play unlocks.

Built for the kid who has just learned numerals 1 to 100 and is ready to see the patterns hidden inside them. One step up from raw counting; one step short of times tables.

How to play

The game tells you the skip count (for example, “Count by 5s”).
Numbers parade across the garland.
In the first four levels the target balls glow with a soft golden halo while your child learns each pattern. From Level 5 the halo is gone — counting is the guide.
Don’t tap a wrong number, and don’t let a target slip past — each mistake costs one heart. Three hearts each level; lose them all and the run ends.
Clear the level to advance. Clear all 20 to unlock Free Play.

What kids learn

Skip counting is the bridge from one-by-one counting to multiplication. This single game touches several Class 1 and Class 2 objectives at once:

Counting by 10

The place-value anchor (10, 20, 30 ... 100). The felt sense that every ten is one bundle. Sets up two-digit arithmetic, money, and base-10 thinking.

Counting by 5

The fingers-on-one-hand and clock-minutes anchor (5, 10, 15 ... 60). Sets up time-telling, tally marks, and half-of-ten reasoning.

Counting by 2

The odd / even foundation. Sets up pairing, grouping, the very first multiplication facts, and the language of “every other one”.

Counting by 3

No natural body anchor — the genuine fluency check. A Class 2 stretch goal that sits last in every tier as the “challenge” beat.

CBSE / NCERT mapping

Class 1 — Math-Magic Chapters 3 & 4 (the Ginladi pattern lessons)
Class 2 — Counting in 2s, 5s, 10s; precursor to tables of 2, 5, and 10

What’s inside

20-level ladder — five tiers of difficulty. Range grows from 1–20 up to 1–100; speed grows from slow to fast.
Twenty levels of skip counting — count by 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s — with hearts to keep, streaks to build, and Free Play unlocking at the top.
Sunny the mascot — the universal MathGuru Sun, the same friend kids meet across all the Numbers games.
Free Play mode — unlocks after clearing Level 20. Pick any skip count, any range, any speed — pressure-free practice.
Sound cues — gentle click on a right tap, descending tone on a miss, rising arpeggio on level-up. All toggleable in the Gear panel.
Visible numbers, not abstract dots — kids practise the numerals themselves, so reading and counting reinforce each other.
Works in the browser — nothing to install.
