Built for speed
Every tool is designed to keep you in flow. Place entities, spawn prefabs, and bootstrap entire game archetypes without leaving the viewport.
Hold Q + click anywhere to open an 8-segment radial wheel. Spawn sprites, colliders, events, or open any studio — by direction, not menus. Builds muscle memory fast.
Pin your most-used entity setups to 8 quick-access slots at the bottom of the viewport. Select an entity, save it to a slot, then one-click spawn copies with all behaviours and components intact.
Press T to open starter recipes. Platformer player, patrol enemy, top-down NPC with dialogue, shooter — each spawns pre-wired entities with behaviours ready to go.
