Questions
Is Pulado free?
Yes. You can make and publish your first game for free, and playing games is always free. More free games unlock when real players try the ones you share. Paid plans lift the limits.
How is Pulado different from a general AI app builder?
General builders write new code for every game. Pulado runs every game on one tested arcade engine, so movement, enemies, weapons, levels and high scores already work and you tune them instead of debugging them.
Can I edit a Pulado game without the AI?
Yes. Every game opens in a visual editor where you can change the player, enemies, weapons, levels and menus by hand.
What if my idea isn't an arcade game?
Pulado is built for classic arcade games. For other ideas, Pulado sends you to Ion7, which builds games freeform.
