Mobile games generate half of the game design industry’s total revenue. Join this fast-growing field as you create your own mobile game or app!

You’ll build a prototype, design a user interface, and test it on a portable tablet. Apply UX principles and gather feedback from your peers to make your prototype accessible and user-friendly. Once you’ve created a solid foundation, integrate functionality and mechanics with GameMaker, the engine behind Undertale! Concept ideas, design levels, and bring your vision to life through engaging gameplay. You’ll start by using built-in visual code to develop custom game mechanics like collectible items. Then, dive deeper and convert your events to editable code. Transform your idea into a playable touchscreen experience, whether that’s a cozy virtual pet app, an exciting action-adventure, or a monster collection game like Pokémon Go. Your game will open the way to mobile play—you can even bring your own Apple or Android device to experience it on!

Requires iOS 13.0 / Android 5.0 or later for personal devices.
