A downloadable level generator for Windows and macOS


With our Escher-like Level Generator, designers can use custom constraints, including dimensions, level density, placement rules and more to create endless level ideas inspired by the work of M. C. Escher.

In our Unity demo, we automatically translate text representations of these worlds into playable 3D spaces with special rules of gravity. We've included the ability for players to switch their plane of gravity, so they can traverse the world as if inside one of M. C. Escher's worlds. Watch the video or download the demo to experience one of these worlds.


Created by Ben Paulsen, Rachel Haub, Sophia Santos, and Bailey Victorio.
