I recently mentioned the excellent LevelHelper, and in the past I have mentioned quite a few level building, and editing tools. I haven’t talked about too many Corona SDK tools on this site.. as they have become a dime a dozen, and many are somewhat overpriced. This one however is somewhat different from those.
This tool is from Karnak Games and allows you to build your levels in the excellent open source Inkscape vector editing tool, which means that you can create some very complex paths like bezier curves with ease. The builder also supports every Corona SDK physics property so you can implement complex physics within your games without needing to program.
Here’s a video of the level builder in action:
You can find the official page for the level editor here:

If you haven’t seen Inkscape you can download it here:

The price is $49 at the time of this writing and apparently will be going up to $129 once the roadmap is complete (see the official page). The price seems very reasonable at $49, considering you see so many Corona tools at that price range that accomplish less.
