About Bloxels Builder

Bloxels is a hands-on platform to build, play and share your own video games!

Take advantage of exclusive features including the new “Brainboards” with the Bloxels Video Game Builder Starter Kit, available at www.bloxelsbuilder.com and at major retailers starting October 1st!

OVERVIEW

Build your own video games with Bloxels! The innovative video game creation platform makes concepting and execution easy. Watch your game world come to life as you create and animate play spaces, characters and objects because you are the artist, game designer, storyteller, programmer, publisher AND player!

HOW TO BUILD GAMES WITH BLOXELS

The physical pieces in the Bloxels game set work with this Bloxels Builder app to digitize your creations, put them on-screen and make them playable. Use the 13 x 13 Gameboard and colored blocks to design a room, create the art for game elements and bring your heroes and villains to life.

When creating game rooms, each color in your design represents a different element, like terrain, water or a hazard. When building art, the blocks represent the pixelated image. Once you have finished adding blocks, snap a picture with the “in-app camera” to digitize your creation. Go from blocks to “bloxels” instantly!

When your game is ready to share, post it to the Bloxels Infinity Wall (Players must have a Bloxels account to access the Infinity Wall features – Parental consent required). The community of 13-bit builders can explore each other’s gaming worlds, playing games and sharing elements. Game developers earn coins when others play their games. They can then use the coins to buy content from other games -- you decide which content is shareable. The elements can then be customized to fix and mix into the buyer’s game. Let your game evolve, create new games and see your imagination come to life!

NOTE: The Bloxels Gameboard is not required, however some advanced features require the Bloxels Video Game Builder Starter Kit, available at bloxelsbuilder.com and at major retailers.
