# Planimeter Game Engine 2D

Planimeter Game Engine 2D - LÖVE-based game engine for Lua  

(Formerly Grid)



Planimeter Game Engine 2D was designed for multiplayer-first game experiences  

and to bring professional-grade game engine features to the hobbyist community.



It is the most feature-packed game engine you've never heard of, and  

provides more functionality out-of-the-box than most other competing game  

engines.



*Planimeter is a Steamworks partner.*
