Got this a couple weeks ago now and have to say for making platformers as a single dev this is the way to go for sure. Might look like a bit of a toy when you first open it up but trust me if you get the pro version. Once you can add your own art it is a game changer and for anyone that wants to just work on your art and not have to worry about code this is great for you in my opinion. I had a couple issues and reached out to creator and got a message back within the same day and he helped me out and was just all around awesome to deal with. So if your more of an artist or story teller and want to make a platformer/adventure style game I would recommend checking this out! And is a one time purchase and even has a limited demo to try out so I would at least try the demo and watch a couple Youtube vids, and check out the home website for the software. Using commands can be pretty powerful once you get the hang of it!

it's like mario maker but for pc, everything is customizable. there is an overworld maker too. you can change player's physics, play in two player mode, make custom items, blocks, projetiles, menus and more. contains custom scripting language that is easy to use. and there is a website where you can find list of all commands and more. super mario maker 2 costs more. there is a demo to try and a lot you can do. if you upgrade to pro you get the ability to import your own assets and to export your project into an .exe file. i don't know how it is with troll levels, i searched troll in the ingame level browser and found nothing, if someone knows you can write a comment.
Good piece of software for making your own platform games, love it so easy to use.
Awesome way to make your own platform style games as well as having as many worlds/levels as you like as well as custom graphics for both levels and over worlds, also custom enemies and items, for $14 you can't beat that .
