Frequently asked questions
Which game types can I build?
Two to start: a side-scrolling platformer (with gravity and jumping, like Mario) and a top-down adventure (walk in any direction, like Zelda).
Can I save my game?
Yes — Save stores your level in the browser. Load brings it back. Works even after closing the tab.
Is it hard for younger kids?
No — one button per tile, click to paint, click Play to try. Older kids can stack platforms and build longer levels.
