4. Quick & Easy
Bring your work to life in hours and days instead of weeks and months. With
Construct 2 making games is a piece of cake: just drag and drop objects
around, add behaviors to them, and make everything come alive with events!
With a quick and easy to grasp Ribbon interface, you have clear access to a
wide set of tools that allows anyone to jump into game creation with little to no
prior game development knowledge.

5. Quick & Easy
The Layout Editor provides a what-you-see-is-what-you-get visual interface to
design your levels. You can drag, rotate and resize objects, visualize effects
applied, and quickly change their settings to your liking in the Properties Bar.
Objects can be arranged on separate layers for enhanced organization,
allowing advanced parallax and blending effects. There's also a built-in image
editor to conveniently make quick edits to your object's graphics.
Within minutes or hours you can
have a working prototype that you
can share with friends to play. In
almost no time you can test your
ideas and know if they are really
fun or not, focusing your efforts in
what matters the most: designing
your game!

6. Powerful Event System
Make your game do what it needs to do in a visual and human readable way
with the powerful Event System. There’s no need to memorize complicated and
cryptic languages. With events programming becomes intuitive putting your
focus on what really matters: designing your game!
Events are created by selecting
possible conditions and actions
from an organized list. The result
list of events, or Event Sheet, is
designed to be as easily readable
as possible, so that beginners can
get instant results as well. Entire
event sheets can be re-used by
other levels, saving you re-
creating events for other levels.

7. Powerful Event System
Creating the events you need for your game is rather intuitive. Just choose the
right object, select a condition or action, and add it to the event. Construct 2
helps you to learn how to think in a logical way and understand real
programming concepts, making it easy for you if you decide to learn a
programming language later.
Groups can be used to enable/disable
multiple events at once, and for
organisation in large projects. Advanced
event logic such as OR blocks, sub-
events, local variables and recursive
functions allow for sophisticated systems
to be programmed without learning a
comparatively more difficult programming
language.
Each event sheet has a list of events, which contain conditional statements or
triggers.Once these are met, actions or functions can be carried out.

8. Flexible Behaviors
Behaviors work as pre-packaged functions that you can assign to objects and
reuse whenever needed. They provide an instant way to add capabilities to
objects, speeding up development and increasing productivity.
They include movements such as 8 directions, platform, and car; advanced
features like physics and pathfinding; and useful utilities like fade, flash, wrap,
pin and drag & drop.

9. Flexible Behaviors
Most behaviors can be replicated with events, but it simply is far more time
consuming to do so. That’s why behaviors can be great time savers, without
limiting what's possible when you need to go further.
For example, adding the Platform Behavior to a sprite allows you to
immediately run and jump along objects marked as 'solid'. You can then
change the settings for speed, acceleration, jump strength, gravity, and more,
until it’s behaving exactly the way you need.
Because of their ease of use they are
great for beginners, who can get instant
results. And they still make life easier
for experienced users. For example,
need an object to move and rotate with
another object? Just add the Pin
behavior! It literally only takes seconds,
and all complications are removed.

10. Stunning Visual Effects
Let your games go from good to gorgeous using C2’s blend modes, effects and
particle system.
There are over 70 WebGL-based pixel shader effects to warp, distort, blend,
blur, mask, re-color and more. You can add these to objects, layers and layouts
for quick special effects and also stack them up to create incredible results. You
can even see everything applied in real time in the editor!

11. Stunning Visual Effects
Construct 2 also allows you to setup fall backs to when effects support is not
available, ensuring that players get the best possible experience out of your
game. For example, a 'Screen' WebGL effect can be replaced by an 'Additive'
blend mode when the player's computer does not support it, preserving the
player experience as best as possible on a range of hardware and system
setups.
Another great feature is the Particles
plugin. It works by creating and
moving many small images
independently, easily generating
sprays of sparkles, smoke, water,
debris, and whatever more your
imagination can create. It’s a really
versatile object capable of many
different kinds of visual effects.

12. Multiplatform Export
Publish your games on a broad selection of platforms with a single project.
There’s no need to maintain multiple codebases. By using Construct 2's
HTML5-based engine you can export to most major platforms.
Easily reach the web by publishing to your own website, Chrome Web Store,
Facebook, Kongregate, NewGrounds, Firefox Marketplace or use our Scirra
Arcade to share your creations. Export your game to desktop PC, Mac and
Linux apps by using the Node-Webkit wrapper. Additionally publish to Windows
8 Store or as a native Windows Phone 8 app.
You can also reach the popular iOS and
Android app stores using wrappers like
CocoonJS, appMobi and PhoneGap — all
three with built-in support.
With extensive platform support you can
rest assured that players will have access to
your game no matter where they are.

13. Easy Extensibility
Construct 2 comes with more than 20 built-in plugins, over 20 behaviors and
more than 70 visual effects. They range from displaying text and sprites, sound
and music playback, input, data manipulation and storage, particle effects,
movement presets, Photoshop-like effects, and many more.
If you are a power user and still needs some specific functionality, Construct 2
let you create your own plugins and behaviors using our fully documented
Javascript SDK. You can also create your own visual effects using GLSL
shader language.
Our community has already produced
more than 150 plugins and behaviors. It’
s really easy, there’s no need for any
special tools! All you need is a text
editor and a little javascript or GLSL
knowledge. It's also a great introduction
to adding real programming to your
games.

14. Try it for Free!
Construct 2 has a Free version that you can use to make your own games right
away. The free version has it's limits, but it's fully functional. A few of the
limitations are:
● You can't sell games made with the Free version
● 100 Event limit
● No Families
Other than that, the free version works just like the full version. Pricing is also
very competitive compared to other products out.
