Online and integrated
microStudio includes all you need to write code, create sprites and maps for your 2D game. All from your web browser. Your project is stored in the cloud, accessible from anywhere.
Get into programming
Write your game code in microScript, a simple language inspired by Lua. The documentation is always there to help. Create cool demos in just a few lines of code. microScript shines by its simplicity and interactivity. But you can also code in JavaScript, Python or Lua if you prefer.
Design
Create pixel art sprites and maps with the included editors. Using your sprites and maps from code is as easy as 1-2-3.
Adjusting is a breeze
Change anything from your PC while testing your game on your mobile. Your changes are immediately reflected in your ongoing playing session.

Comments and Reviews
I fall in love with this engine because i can work with my friends everywhere.
Excellent game engine with all the tools you require to create a HTML5 based games, cleanly integrated into both an online and now local IDE. Been coding since the late 70's on many many systems, and I can honestly say microStudio is up there in my top 5 favorite dev tools/envs!
I belive microstudio is one of the best game engine available for free and it's very easy to use. You can use microstudio on browser or can download standalone application on itch.io. Microstudio uses 4 programming languages for ease of coders. They are Python, JavaScript, Lua and microscript which is designed by microstudio devs itself. Overall to say in less words "Microstudio is awesome and I suggest everyone to try it once"
I like MicroStudio because it's very easy to use with an browser IDE and simple powerful language makes for quick prototyping and learning.
