Features:

Build Screens
Create tiles that can cause damage, change when stepped on, even be animated! Use tiles to create canvases with four layers of depth. Set a separate speed for each layer to give the camera a unique point of view. Warp from one map to the next using Links. Adjust how you view your map by setting up a scrolling camera. Add gadgets to bring more life to your games and set them on a Course that will have them travel around the map automatically.

Create Gadgets
Start by setting up loop-optional animations with frame-by-frame collision detection with other gadgets, walls, and dealing damage. Add Connection Points to link gadgets together. Define your animations with sound effects on specific frames and manipulate each graphic with built-in tools like scaling, rotation, and transparency. Turn your animations into gadgets to give them functions, tell them how to react to the Player gadget, and how to switch from one action and animation to another. Control how gadgets move, give them projectiles, and even define how they appear and disappear.

Fine-tune Your Project
Build menus completely from scratch to navigate the player through the title screen, a character menu, or just a pause screen. Set up items using animations, text, switches and memories that can be displayed on any menu screen. Set up cursor groups to navigate through your options. Assign any menu screen to any canvas. Use built-in fonts or import your own to give your game a personal touch. Tie everything together with the Work Flow and share your finished game with others using any of the three export options.
