Luna and Cat: Design your own is a creative app that lets you design interactive stories and simple games without writing code. Pick a main character and background, add other characters to interact, and build scenes to tell your own narrative or prototype playful ideas. Its visual programming interface is intuitive—drag-and-drop blocks behave like drawing or writing so beginners can experiment while more committed creators refine mechanics. The app includes ready-made characters and backgrounds, plus tools to draw or import images from your device, and a community area where you can explore and remix projects for inspiration.
