What Pixel Game Maker MV is

Pixel Game Maker MV is a Windows construction tool for creating 2D action games that can also be played by people who do not own the software. It supports top-down and side-scrolling views, as well as offline versus or co-op play for up to four players. The maker says complete action games can be created without programming, while JavaScript extensions and official or custom plug-ins can add functionality. Scenes combine tiles, objects, camera movements and physics-based behaviors; other tools include graphic imports, particle effects, multiple layers and a physics engine. Supported resources include PNG, JPG, WebP and TGA images, TrueType fonts, OGG audio, WebM and MP4 video, and GIF and SSPJ animations. Games can be built for distribution as Windows executable files. The listed targets include Windows and Nintendo Switch, but the software itself runs on Windows. The product is paid, with no free plan, and a 30-day trial is available through the Steam store page. The listed price is $84.99, paid once for one user, for Windows 8/8.1/10 (64-bit).
