Analog is a freeform map editor for 2d games. Unlike most map editors it’s not based around tiles but free placement of a variety of shapes and geometry. You don’t have to be locked to a grid when creating your art or your levels, so you’re able to make much more interesting, organic maps without that ugly blocky feel.
