Elara: A Free Coding Game
Elara is a game that teaches you how to code. It is named after one of the moons of Jupiter where the game takes place.
It is still a work-in-progress. The current “public beta” version includes 25+ levels, teaches many core programming concepts, and features a complete story from start-to-end! However, some minor things like dialog, music, sound effects, and certain animations may feel incomplete. We're also working on adding additional levels. Elara is constantly being improved, and your feedback can help us make the game as good as it can be 😀
Elara is and always will be free and open source! The source code is available on GitHub.
You can also play at play.elaragame.com. Note that because the game saves to local storage, your progress will not transfer between play.elaragame.com and itch.io.
Elara is also on Steam! If you enjoyed the game, leaving a review on Steam would also really help us out 🙂

Happy to hear it! Let me know if you have any additional feedback. If you could rate the game on Itch.io and consider wishlisting the game on Steam it would really help us out too :)
