First ever game development tool for iPad!
iTileMaps is powerfull tile map creation tool. Works with any 2D game genre, whether it's RPG or sidescroller or anything else. Specifically designed for iPad it allows creating maps very fast wherever you are. No need to change anything in your game because it uses popular tmx file format and works well with Tiled.
Best works with cocos2d because it's built on top of it. But any other game engine that supports tmx file format will work aswell.
