Epic Game Maker is a sandbox 2D platformer with a level editor. Make a game of your dreams and share your creations with other players. Play with your friends in co-op multiplayer mode! Also you can play online levels created by other players and rate them. The best levels will appear at the top of the list, which will give an opportunity their authors to become famous! Features: • Built-in level editor to make a game • Upload levels to the game server • Ability to play any levels online without downloading • Nice interface and fantasy 2D graphics • Different characters like knight, goblin, demon, orc etc. Creating levels in this game is a very fun and easy process. You simply draw objects in cells, arrange blocks, objects and characters. The mission at the level will depend on what objects you used when creating. For example, if you add at least one key and doors, the mission will be to find all the keys and then open the door. Each character in the game has a unique weapon and characteristics. All characters can be divided into 3 types - warriors, archers and mages. In game updates, we plan to add more characters and objects so you can create a variety of levels and make other players happy! Support website: https://electricpunch.net/
