One of the most wonderful elements of Nintendo\u2019s Super Mario Maker titles, which give players the chance to build their own platformers, is that they provide a glimpse at how Nintendo thinks about game design. You get to see how every element matters, from the exact length of platforms, to the precise angle of Mario\u2019s jump. It\u2019s like going to a painting lesson with Picasso.<\/p>\n

Game Builder Garage broadens the canvas offered by its predecessors by allowing users to construct pretty much any kind of game, from racers to 3D action adventures \u2013 all via a cute, powerful visual programming language.
