What is Bloxels?

Bloxels is a game design tool that lets you create custom video games using a block-based building system. You arrange coloured blocks to design game levels, add characters, and customise the visual appearance of your creation. The tool is designed primarily for younger users and beginners with no coding experience, making game design accessible without technical knowledge. Once you've built your game, you can play it and share it with others. Bloxels works through a combination of physical building blocks (optional) and digital design tools, though the digital version alone is sufficient to create and play games.
