Demo

Pixel 2D Top-Down Engine is the evolution of the Pixel 2D Platformer engine, which aims to pick up where Paper2D left off. It contains everything you need to create amazing Top-Down 2D games. No C++ knowledge is required, everything is accessible through blueprints.

Each blueprint is clean and commented and all important variables are exposed, making it extremely easy to follow and customize.
The plugin already contains features including animated and destroyable tiles, a completely redone TileMap editor that supports flipbook painting, flipbook animation blueprints and notifies, numerous examples of enemy AI behavior, a dynamic combat system using ray traces and physics projectiles, inventory systems, and more...
