Collect the Rain is a browser-based kids game that runs instantly, with nothing to install. No account, no install and no plugins — just the game in a browser tab.
About Collect the Rain
The goal of the game is to collect as many raindrops as possible. To move the bucket, click the mouse pointer on the place where you want to move the bucket. On touch screen devices, tap the screen with your finger.
How to play Collect the Rain
There is very little to learn before your first run. Load the game above and it fills the player in portrait. On a phone you can play one-handed; on desktop the frame stays centred so nothing is cropped. Most players get the hang of it inside two or three attempts.
Controls

On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
The appeal here is the loop: a short round, a clear result, and an obvious idea about what to do differently next time.
