Tutorial 2: Astroblast
Welcome to the next step in your journey with Easel!
In this tutorial, we are going to build a game called Astroblast where you pilot a ship lost in space, blasting asteroids and trying to survive as long as you can. Then with a flick of a switch, we will make it multiplayer so you can play with your friends!
Want a sneak peek of what you are going to make? Try out our version of Astroblast here: astroblast.easel.games.
