A beginner-friendly game creation tool for 2D side-scrolling platform games with drag-and-drop interface and block-based coding
Blocky roads is a game creation tool tailored for beginners who want to learn how to make simple 2D side-scrolling platform games. With its easy drag-and-drop interface, users can place blocks to design levels, add playable characters and game elements like collectible items or obstacles, customize the art style and backgrounds, and program game logic and behaviors without needing to know how to code.
While it lacks the depth and flexibility of professional game engines, Blocky roads makes game development accessible for kids and new creators. Its block-based coding system uses simple logic blocks that snap together to make characters move, trigger actions when objects collide, implement scoring and win conditions, and more. No syntax or programming knowledge is needed. Users can be creative and see results quickly.
Published games can be shared online or exported as standalone apps. Blocky roads offers 100+ assets to build with, from thematic tilesets and character art to sound effects and UI elements. While simple, it teaches core principles around game design, digital art, and coding logic that serve as a strong foundation to advance to more advanced game tools down the line.
