Developers provide regular updates (usually bi-weekly) with new features added with each iteration.

Behaviors add pre-packaged functionality to object types.

It's a one off cost for Construct 2 and all updates to the Construct 2 editor are free for life.

All platform exporters are part of the subscription. There are no additional fees and new exporters are added quickly and maintained well. Currently, 15 platforms are supported, including HMTL 5, iOS, Android, Windows, Chrome Store, PhoneGap and Scirra.

Basic sprites and tiles of 2D games can be made with engine's built-in tools.

Construct 2 is a tool for not just programmers, but artists as well. You can create a game with only visual coding, which is easy to learn and doesn't require any prevoius programming knowledge. You can focus on making your game better instead of just coding. It has some limitations of course, but it's definetly worth it.

Construct 2 has an active plugin ecosystem providing behaviors and features that smooth the workflow for certain game types.

Construct 2's event system allows for deep, detailed control over all aspects of your game. You aren't limited to just a few options. Rather, Scirra has thought of nearly everything in advance with access to any desired parameter of any object all paired with simple and intuitive ways to interact with them. Your events can be organized with event sheets (that can be included in other sheets), event groups, sub-events, loops, and functions that make the coding portion of your game as efficient as possible. You don't need any programming knowledge, but if you do have some, you'll feel right at home with the freedom C2 offers.

Construct 2 uses WebRTC technology to support it's multiplayer functionality. The nature of the technology allows peer-to-peer connection which does not require game developer to create server side architecture to allow communication between games.

The tilemap object allows tile-based games to be designed more easily. The object's tilemap can also be edited in the layout view using the tilemap bar.

Performs well on most devices and browsers.

Can use cameras in PCs and on mobiles. You can use the synthesis that can recognize your speech or you can write something and it can talk for you.

With spriter file implementation and internal animation editor Construct 2 provides an easy way of creating particles and animations.

The developers are always available to help.

This engine provides an intuitive workflow for people that are used to the Windows environment.

A free version of Construct 2 is available. It's not time restricted in any way, but is feature limited.

Construct 2 is fast to pick up, get into, and belt out some pretty impressive games in a relatively small amount of time. Seems to be built for people who don't have a lot of programming skills, but want to make great games.

Construct 2 is available in 4 variants. There's a free version with limited functionality that prohibits from making money from C2 creations and a full version that requires either a personal, business or educational license. The personal license is aimed at indie developers that make less than $5000 from games made with Construct 2 and non-profit organisations and costs $129.99. The business license is required once $5000 or more is already made and costs $429.99. These licenses are one-time buys that include all future upgrades of the software. An educational license is also available for $29.99/month that allows having Construct 2 on all on-site computers.

The website itself has tons of tutorials to get anyone started on any project and for the things you can't find there is a constantly active forum where other devs are giving their input, ideas and helping anyone who is stuck.

You can also download Construct 2 on Steam.

Thanks to the great power of Erin Catto's Box2D, Construct 2 is able to make physics games which are similar to Cut the Rope and Angry Birds.
