Literally build games

Bloxels helps you create video games without writing a single line of code.

Add blocks to the game grid to represent a video game element such as a character. Then take a picture of the grid to instantly import your character into the app. With a few taps, you can play as that character in an existing level or in a level you build yourself!

Use this to make video games!
Make video games out of blocks!

Pixel perfect

Bloxels gives you control over nearly every element of your game’s appearance. Use the 13 x 13 game board to create characters, alternate poses for their animations, power ups to change their behavior, coins to collect, and more. You can even design the appearance of the ground and walls!

Then think a little more abstractly and design the layout of your levels. Each color of cube corresponds to a material type, so if you want to create a floating platform, drop in some green blocks. Or add a pool of water by placing a few blue blocks as an obstacle. Then go back to skinning your game and make the water hazard look like a toxic waste soup or a pit of lava. With Bloxels, you’ve got ultimate control over the game.

Create the layout, design the characters, and build powerups and terrain!
Your game, your way.

Oh snap!

Picture this: you make something in the real world and turn it into a video game element in an instant. It couldn’t be easier with Bloxels Builder. Just load the app, take a photo, and voila! Your game grid mosaic becomes a part of your own video game. Once digitized, you can make adjustments and animate elements.

Customize nearly everything and import your designs with your camera!
A picture is worth 1,000 lines of code.

Let’s play!

Making your video game is so fun, it’s easy to forget that you can play it when you’re done! Each platform adventure you create is based on an 8-bit style that involves traversing terrain, collecting coins, and picking up powerups—all on the free app that you use to digitize your game. So what are you waiting for? Get building and get playing!

Play the game you created!
Rated E because everyone can make and play!

The capture screen in the app gives helpful tips to make capturing a game board as easy as possible.

Question: Does it only make platform games?

Answer: The current version of Bloxels helps you create platform games in the style of Super Mario Bros. Future versions might support additional game types.
