Daytime This little scene is drawn live in your browser. A platformer is the first thing most Godot makers build. Click to change the sky.
🛡️
An honest note: Godot is a real app you download once (it is free, and works on modest computers), so the episodes are a home-computer job best done with a grown-up. But you can start right now in the Godot Mod Studio below, which needs no install at all.

Ember says: a whole game can feel huge. It is not, if you go one piece at a time: make one thing move, make one thing collectable, make one thing win. Everything else is repeats.

Keep the cheat sheet open: node types, GDScript basics, the scene tree and common Output errors, all on one page. Open the Godot cheat sheet →
🛠️ Start in the browser: open the Godot Mod Studio Lay out a 2D scene with a grid, add real GDScript, then download a real Godot project (a project.godot and a scene) you open in the free Godot engine. No install needed to start, works on a school computer. Open the Studio →
🔗 How the two work together

You use our browser studio and Godot as one workflow, so you can start building with nothing installed and finish it in the real engine:

  1. Lay out a scene in our studio. Open the Godot Mod Studio and place a player, platforms, coins and a goal on the grid. No install.
  2. Download the project. The studio writes a project.godot, a Main.tscn scene and your GDScript, all in one zip.
  3. Open it in Godot. Install the free Godot (godotengine.org), choose Import, and pick project.godot, then press F5 to run.
  4. Follow the episodes. Use each episode to turn the starting scene into a full platformer, racer or 3D level.
