This application will be served in a 2D form using engine game Construct 2. Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MLDC) is using as a method which contains concept, design, material collection, construction, verification, and distribution. This research used the waterfall process model as the design approach. This research is using black box method for application testing and using Likert Scale questionnaire as the data collection method. The black box method shows valid results and this application is already well functioned according to the required needs.
