Thumby™ is the tiniest handheld console - play games at the tips of your thumbs, give yourself a cool keychain accessory, and easily learn to code with this all-in-one piece of tech!

This miniature console features a responsive D-pad and two action buttons, offering a fully playable experience with five pre-loaded games, including a pint-sized version of Snake, a side-scroller, a multi-directional shooter, classic Pong, and an epic dungeon RPG.

Join the Thumby community by downloading free games made by other users and learn to program your own games in Python using our free In-Browser Code Editor.
