Build a Shoot-’Em-Up in Construct 2: Adding Polish

In this tutorial screencast series, we’re building a frantic side-scrolling shoot-’em-up, complete with multiple levels, parallax scrolling, lots of enemies, power-ups, and even a boss battle. We’re using the free Construct 2 gamedev tool, meaning you don’t need any previous programming or game development knowledge. In this part, we’ll just add some polish to the game.
