Hi! I post this news because I'm pleased to announce that I'm working on a level editor for my game: "RECURSION".

This will be the final update of the game and l truly think this feature has a lot of potential, therefore I'll try my best to do the most marketing I can, so a lot of people creates their own levels!

These are some of the features the level editor will have:

  • The editor will be very simple and intuitive to use; this is the main philosophy of the level editor as I want many people as possible to create their own levels. Basically, instead of creating a super-complex editor like Geometry Dash where only a few experienced people can create levels, I want to create a level editor more like Super Mario Maker but more focused on sharing little levels with your friends for fun.
  • Ability to share levels very easily through PNGs: In my opinion this is one of the best features, as you don't need to share a strange file extension or some large number - If you want your friend to play your level, just send them the image, and the only thing your friend has to do in order to play your level, is download/copy the image, and import it into the game, is that simple! And the best is that because how it works internally, you can actually see how the level looks before playing it.


  • The Recursion Level Editor is not only a level editor where you can create levels based on difficulty or mechanics, but also a level editor where you can express yourself artistically. Here is an example of a random Sans pixelart I made along with other 'things?', but basically you can create any pixelart you want. (The only limitation is the grid size and the colors)

Here is a video of a level I made for fun, "FoxGames01 museum", where I show some pixelarts. Then hypothetically I could share this to some friends using the image the level editor generates. Creating this level was actually super easy, it took me like 7 minutes.

this is how the PNG of this level actually looks like: (then you can import this in the game and it will look exactly as what you've seen. or you can share this image with your friends so they can play your level or whatever do you want)


Size of the level/image: 2.46KB!

If you are interested in my project please follow me in my Twitter @ZorraMacho. Oh, and if you are confused about some aspects of my game you can play the original with levels created by me, it's on my profile.

"SHARE" Button Interface Design!

I am now working on adding more types of objects and saving the rotation data in the PNG.
