Retro Level Editor ships live playtest, HTML export
Retro Level Editor is a browser-based tilemap editor for building 2D levels, placing a spawn point, and playtesting instantly. It exports the finished game as a single HTML file, making it easy to share without a separate build pipeline.
// ANALYSIS
This is the kind of narrow, opinionated tool that actually gets used: one screen for building, one click for testing, one file for shipping.
- –Live playtest inside the editor removes the usual build-test loop that slows down level design
- –Single-file HTML export is the right constraint for jams, demos, and lightweight web games
- –Tileset import and layered painting make it flexible enough for real projects without turning into a full engine
- –The product feels more like a practical workflow tool than a toy editor, which is usually the difference between “cool demo” and “kept in bookmarks”
