Dinsun Review

Dinsun here. I have a lot of respect for tools that let people build things. Game Creator 2D is actually quite impressive in terms of logic and asset management. You can make platformers, shooters, or adventure games. However, doing this on a touch screen is a nightmare. It’s fiddly, precise work that really belongs on a PC. If you have the patience of a saint, you can make something cool, but most people will give up after 20 minutes of trying to place a block correctly. Good idea, difficult execution.

Logic and Behaviors

You can assign behaviors to any object. For example, give a monster a 'Patrol' behavior so it moves back and forth, or set a button to trigger a 'Door Open' event when the player touches it.
