# Make a 2D game by describing the one you want > Tell Summer Engine the 2D game you have in mind and it builds the sprites, a tilemap level, 2D physics, and the gameplay into a project you own and can export. - URL: https://www.summerengine.com/make-a-2d-game - Keyword: make a 2d game - Related: https://www.summerengine.com/2d-game-maker To make a 2D game you usually wrestle a tilemap, a sprite, a camera, and 2D physics into place before anything moves. Summer Engine does that setup from a sentence: describe the 2D game you want and it builds a controllable character, a level, and the rules so you can press play right away. It is a full engine compatible with Godot 4, so the 2D game you make is a standard project on your machine. A platformer, a top-down adventure, a shooter, or a puzzle all start the same way and export to desktop (Windows and macOS) with no royalties. You keep shaping it in plain language: tune the jump, widen the level, add an enemy, or restyle the sprites. Each change shows up in the running game, and you can open the 2D editor whenever you want finer control. ## The 2D setup, done for you Summer Engine builds the sprite, the tilemap, a 2D camera, and 2D physics so the first thing you see is a playable 2D game. The plumbing that usually eats your first hour is handled, and you start by playing, not configuring. ## Any kind of 2D game Make a platformer, a top-down game, a shooter, an endless runner, or a puzzle, all from the same prompt box. Summer Engine sets up the right movement, camera, and level for each, because it is a complete 2D engine, not one template. ## It makes the sprites and tiles Ask for a player sprite, an enemy, a tileset, or a background and the maker generates and imports them as standard resources. You can recolor, swap, or replace anything by asking, so the 2D game looks the way you pictured. ## Yours to keep and ship The 2D game you make is a standard project with no lock-in. Export to desktop (Windows and macOS), publish on Steam, itch.io, or your own site, and pay Summer no royalties on your sales. Summer Engine is free to start, so a first game costs nothing. ## FAQ ### How do I make a 2D game with Summer Engine?
