Templates

Each template gives you a ready-to-play starter game with the right camera, controls, physics, UI, and tools already set up.

Choose the template that feels closest to the game you want to make, and Starlight takes care of the technical setup.

Each one comes with its own camera style, player controls, physics, editing tools, inspector options, HUD, touch controls, and validation rules, so you can spend more time shaping the game and less time wiring everything together.

Make it your own

Import your own artwork, sprites, backgrounds, sounds, and other assets, then use them throughout your game. Define the rules and logic for each level how objects behave, what triggers events, how players progress, and what happens when they win, lose, or interact with the world.

Build and test each level directly in Starlight, then export the finished game as a complete browser-ready package you can publish, host, or share anywhere.
