Make a game. Publish it in one tap. Watch the world play it. Max2D gives you two ways to build and it's the only app on iPhone that has both. DESCRIBE IT, AND AI BUILDS IT Type your idea in plain English — "a ninja platformer with double jump" — and AI builds a playable game in seconds, in 2D or 3D. Don't like something? Say what to change and it rebuilds. No editor, no learning curve, no coding. OR BUILD IT IN THE PRO EDITOR Open a full 2D game engine: a drag-and-drop scene editor, sprite tools, physics, camera controls, and VISUAL SCRIPTING to give any object logic and behaviour — still without writing a line of code. Build platformers, racers, RPGs, puzzles, clickers, shooters, anything you can imagine in 2D. WORKS COMPLETELY OFFLINE. Build on a plane, on the subway, anywhere with zero signal. This is a professional mobile game engine, not a prompt toy. Two separate creation modes. Pick whichever fits what you're making. PUBLISH IN ONE TAP However you built it, one tap publishes your game: • It lands in the Max2D feed, where the community plays it, rates it, and tells you what they think • You get a link you can send to anyone, anywhere — friends, group chats, socials. They just tap and play • No approvals, no waiting, no fees PLAY WHAT OTHERS BUILT Max2D isn't only for making. Browse a live feed of games built by creators around the world and jump straight into any of them. Rate them, leave feedback, follow the creators you like, and find ideas for your own next game. LEARN GAME DEV, FREE A built-in Learn section walks you through both modes step by step with video tutorials — how to prompt AI well, and how to use the engine's tools. Total beginners and experienced tinkerers both get moving fast. PERFECT FOR • First-timers who want a finished, playable game in minutes • Kids and students learning game design and logic hands-on • Hobbyist devs who want a real engine that fits in a pocket • Anyone who tried a prompt-only game "maker" and hit a wall A TRACK RECORD, NOT A STARTUP EXPERIMENT Max2D has been building games with people since 2020 — over 4.3 million creators and 46,000+ ratings, now rebuilt for iPhone. This isn't a weekend AI wrapper. It's a real engine with years of tools, tutorials, and a community behind it. No coding. No paywall on creation. Describe it or build it — either way, you ship a game the world can play.

The clearest difference is ads: AE at none against AI Game Maker & Engine's shown. AE also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). AI Game Maker & Engine's advantage is chart position (#87 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
