About

With Buildbox, creating games is simple. There is no programming needed. Choose from various templates, Smart Assets™, or Brainboxes™ to get started. Then preview your game in real-time. You can even make your own game from scratch. The only limit is your imagination. Buildbox 3 is our most advanced game creation software! With it, you can create both 3D and 2D games using no-code Smart Assets™ and Brainboxes™ or advanced low-code options. Buildbox Classic is our traditional drag and drop game maker. With it you can make a game without coding, and rapidly build and prototype 2D games only using templates. At Buildbox, we believe that creating games is for everyone. With our powerful software, we're breaking down the barriers of game development for creators like you. We believe that anyone should get the opportunity to bring their ideas to life.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I really like how easy BuildBox is to use. It's a key pillar in the no code movement that makes it really easy for people like me to create new games. I have noticed that many titles from BuildBox have made it to the top 100 on the App Store.

Cons

  • I wish there was an asset store for BuildBox kind of like how Unity has. That way I could drag and drop a new assets without having to search on Turbo squid etc I hope that they will bring this into BuildBox someday.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - easy to learn programming logic concepts - drop an drag wysiwyg type build box - drop and drag logic for coding - cross platform publishing - easy to adapt physics

Cons

  • - huge drain on ram - can’t look at multiple actor logic - very restrictive in what you can build - no built in universal hud layering/device adjustment - doesn’t seem to have capacity to adjust to speeds of different devices so the game play experience across platforms is varied - regularly has glitches when apple or google make changes so it regularly need to catch up so it can actually be used - no 3d capacity. you can do pseudo 3d but at great expense to ram and functionality - fonts don’t scale relative to camera size (eg when using a zoom feature in a game) - the subscription price, especially when you factor in regular glitches with the creator and publishing - very basic layering - no parent/child ability on actors - no decent trial period to try the platform
