Tools like Construct 3 or GDevelop offer free versions for making more advanced games, but they may have limits on exports or assets.

What to check before using

Free plans often change, so verify current features and limits on the tool's website. Some tools require teacher accounts or student logins.

Check privacy settings and whether student data is protected. Also consider whether the game can be played on the devices you have.

• Does the free plan allow enough students?
• Can you assign games as homework?
• Is there a way to see student results?
• Does it work on tablets and Chromebooks?
