Key takeaways
Describe your setting and threats, and get a playable 2D survival game in a few minutes.
Makermint makes a single-player survival game, not an online co-op experience.
Visuals are handled for you, so you never draw the world or creatures yourself.
Survival games drop you into a hostile world with nothing and ask you to stay alive. You gather resources, craft tools, build shelter, and watch for threats, whether that's a zombie horde, harsh weather, or an island with no supplies. The genre rewards patience and planning over quick reflexes.
A Makermint version of this genre is a 2D, single-player take: describe the setting and threats you want, and Makermint builds a browser game around gathering, crafting, and survival, ready in a few minutes.
How it works
Describe your game
Tell Makermint what kind of survival game you want. A wilderness survival? A zombie outbreak? A stranded island? Type it in plain English.
Makermint builds it
Makermint generates a playable game from your description: resource gathering, a crafting system, simple threats, and a title screen. The visuals are handled for you.
Play and iterate
Try the game as soon as it's ready. Ask for changes in plain language, like "add a hunger meter" or "add wolves at night", and play the next version right away.
Publish and share
When you're happy with it, publish your game to get a share link, or post it to the Makermint community where others can play and remix it.
