Platformer Creator: Build and Share Your Own Levels

Platformer Creator is an innovative and original game-making toolkit designed for aspiring developers and players alike. Built from the ground up with custom code, it allows you to construct, share, and enjoy countless custom platformer experiences. Note: an enhanced sequel, Platformer Creator 2.0, is also available.

A Community-Driven Sandbox

This isn't just a solo creation tool. It features a curated community level list where you can play stages made by other creators. If a level doesn't load initially, try refreshing the page. The developer encourages remixing and sharing—you can save your project codes on a dedicated forum and integrate custom levels directly.

Creation Mode: Your Design Toolkit

Edit: Pan the screen with arrow keys, click to place or delete blocks.
Select: Cycle through different block types using the A and D keys.
Learn: Press 'I' for information on any block before placing it.
Manage: Access save, load, and delete functions via the "More" button.
Load: Press 'L', paste a saved level code (like the complex "Mario" code provided), and play.

Play Mode: Test and Explore

Control: Move your character with the arrow keys.
Customize: Click the character to change its costume.
Atmosphere: Use keys 1-9 to set the time of day dynamically.
Challenge: Avoid fatal falls and contact with Hot Blocks, or you'll respawn at the start.

The game is complemented by original music from JungoJim and includes quality-of-life updates like smoother lighting.
