We created an hour long documentation video detailing how to customize the art assets and build new levels in the kit. Other than that, there's nothing you need to know about the game engine code itself.
Before Commander Cool was an iOS starter kit, it was a hugely popular app. Now that they've turned their game engine into a game template, you can play the original game for free in the App Store.

The Commander Cool iOS Starter Kit let's you create your own 8 Bit style retro platformer game. Actually, 8-bit is just one of many styles you can choose. Import any art you want to use with this platform engine.
Level maps are all created through Tiled, a free map editor. Once you've created a new map, simply update the filename in the Property List for the app. Build and play. It's that simple.
Build your levels with Tiled.
Almost ALL the customization of the game can be done in the free Tiled map editor. You'll work in this amazingly simple map editing program to save new .tmx files for each level you want to add to the game. Don't want to fool with code? You don't have to!
The documentation videos guide you through creating a new map from scratch.
You can watch the entire documentation video online (or offline if you download the videos after your purchase).
