Intuitive interface
The tile map editor comes with an intuitive interface, allowing users to create new maps without much of a hassle, or to edit existing ones in order to customize them as they consider it fit.

New layers, terrain elements, and other items can be easily inserted to the map as well. The software includes a grid view, so that users could place new objects with increased precision.
The utility features support for orthogonal and isometric maps, and enables users to easily resize and offset maps after creating them. The software enables users to add external tilesets to their projects, while also allowing them to save maps as images.

When editing maps, users can set the application to display only the layer they want to modify, or to show all layers, so that they can have a better view of the entire map layout.
