Construct 2 is an intuitive and dedicated development program that helps you to build a game without having any programming experience. Construct 2 is great for users of any age.

Got a game idea? Build it yourself

An extensive selection of demo’s to try out, lets you gather ideas and inspiration for your own project.

A beautifully designed application, Construct 2 is the perfect application if you’ve ever wondered how to make games. You’ll experience game segments deconstructed as you learn how each section works and functions with the other parts.

With no coding experience required, Construct 2 is a great starting point if you’re looking to learn to code or give your child a way to develop coding skills from an early age. With a beautifully designed interface that follows Microsoft’s ribbon interface design, you’ll easily start making games in HTML5.

The software is also reminiscent of Photoshop, having layers on the right side of your screen with the project in the center. This adds to Construct 2’s ease of use and makes adding to individual layers a simple process. There’s also a large number of tutorials available on the Construct 2 website. Learning how to use Construct 2 is easy, thanks to these two things. With the free version having no time limitations, you’re able to practice until you’re ready to buy the full version.

Once you’ve finished a project, you’re able to publish it almost immediately to either Facebook or the Google Chrome Web Store.

Where can you run this program?

Requiring Windows XP with service pack 3 or newer, Construct 2 has extremely low system requirements and will be able to run on virtually any Windows computer.

Is there a better alternative?

No, there are many game creation studios such as Unity itself, but none have as many demo’s or tutorials available to let you learn how to use the software. However, programs such as Unity are free.

Our take

Construct 2 is a beautiful way to introduce yourself to the world of programming and developing HTML5 games and is powerful enough to use commercially.
