Platformer Game Builder

Want to make your own platformer game? Start here.

Platformer Game Builder is a browser-based game creation tool designed for building your own 2D platform games without starting everything from scratch.

Instead of giving you only a finished game, Platformer Game Builder gives you the tools to create your own.

Create Your Own World

Use the built-in Map Editor to design levels and sub-levels, place platforms, enemies, doors, keys, treasure chests, traps, decorations and interactive objects.

The editor uses a 5-layer system:

• Background color
• Distant parallax background
• Background objects
• Main gameplay layer
• Foreground decoration layer

Objects can be moved directly with the mouse, scaled, stretched, rotated and tilted.

Built-in Sprite Editor

Create your own characters, enemies, items and decorations with the integrated pixel-art Sprite Editor.

You can:

• Create new transparent sprites from scratch
• Use sprite sizes from 8×8 up to 256×256
• Create animations with up to 10 frames
• Draw, erase and fill
• Create lines, rectangles and ellipses
• Invert colors
• Rotate and mirror graphics
• Shift artwork inside a sprite
• Import PNG graphics
• Edit individual animation frames

Each sprite can also have its own gameplay behavior.

Turn Graphics Into Game Objects

Sprites are not just pictures.

You can define them as:

Player, Friend, Enemy, Solid Object, Passable Object, Health Bonus, Energy Bonus, Extra Jump, Speed Bonus, Damage Object, Key, Door, Chest and more.

Enemies can have their own:

• Health
• Speed
• Damage
• AI behavior

Interactive Physics Objects

Objects can have special physical properties.

Create:

• collapsing bridges that shake before breaking;
• blocks that break when hit from below;
• objects that can be pushed;
• objects that can be dragged;
• platforms that break after standing on them;
• lightweight objects that fly upward;
• movable boxes;
• traps and destructible scenery.

The same sprite can have different behavior on different maps.

Build Connected Levels

Create multiple areas and connect them with doors.

Doors can:

• lead to another sub-level;
• require a key;
• place the player at a selected destination.

Add treasure chests, bonuses and secret areas to build larger adventures.

Play While You Build

The included platformer engine already supports:

• Walking
• Jumping
• Double jump
• Crouching
• Running
• Health
• Energy
• Keys
• Enemies
• Collectable items
• Doors
• Chests
• Interactive objects
• Side-scrolling camera

You can test your level while creating it.

Save Your Project

Projects, maps and sprites can be saved and exported.

You can export your whole project as JSON and continue working on it later.
