Bloxels sent us a free review unit of their Game Studio Kit. Opinions Are Our Own.

Back when I was 10 years old I had a TI 994A computer which was basically a keyboard that I attached to a TV and used a tape recorder to save anything I created. It took thousands of lines of code to make an 8 pixel X 8 Pixel character dance. I would have lost my mind if I had access to Bloxels as a kid. If I was able to use this I would have been creating all sorts of video games! Now I have the chance to do this with my son, Andy.

With Bloxels you have access to creating characters, game levels, storylines, backgrounds and more. It all depends upon your imagination and how long you want to put in the work. For a kid who enjoys making things on games like Minecraft they will easily pick up how to create games and levels with Bloxels. With the Game Studio Kit you get a Bloxels account so that you can build your own video games, save them and share them so that other people can play them. The Kit comes with a gameboard and 400 blocks so that you can physically create characters and levels. Then you can photograph them using the bloxels app and edit them further within the app. You can see more about how the game works in our video below.

For creative video game oriented kids this will be an incredible christmas gift. If you are so inclined please consider picking up the game through our Amazon.com affiliate link below.
