Tired of playing Online games? Then how about developing some with Buildbox?

Game creation platform Buildbox recently released a game called Phases. Well, that but of information will not exactly set the newsvine on fire but what indeed makes the headlines is the easy manner in which this startup allows you to build such games.

Buildbox’s claim to fame is – it allows anybody, & we mean even those who do not have any knowledge of coding, to build digital games. You could even make something like Flappy Bird within 60 seconds, is what these guys claim.

Buildbox has added a new dimension to the whole game creation experience. This platform allows you to create games as easily as dropping images into the software, making changes to their properties & hitting ‘Play’.

All the tools you would ever need to make your game is included in Buildbox.  You have access to complete management of your assets, integrated level editor, game menu system, advanced ad & in app purchase solution, font editor, gameplay settings, among others.

If you wanna see Buildbox is in action before trying things out, just check out the game Phases. Everything you see from the physics engine to the monetization was built only with Buildbox.  No outside programming or additions were added to the game, & it was made in only 2 weeks.

The guys at this California, USA based startup claim making games is “as easy as making a powerpoint presentation.” While developing Buildbox, the focus was on making things so intuitive, users wouldn’t need a manual.

With Buildbox, you can create as many games as you want & publish them as many times as you want.  When you’re ready to export your game to mobile devices, computers or micoconsoles, you’ll be able to do so at the click of a button. It also has an inbuilt freemium monetization suite that allows developers to find ways & means of making out of their newly built games.

Then there’s Buildbox’s Infinity engine you can control real world physics & gameplay by moving sliders. With Buildbox you have full control over in app purchases and the ability to show ads from over 9 different top tier ad companies including industry favorites like Chartboost.

King unveils 1st ever parallel world of play for Candy Crush Saga

 

This press release has been published as it is without being edited

LONDON and NEW YORK, Dec. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — King, the world’s leading casual games company, today announced the first ever expansion of their global hit game Candy Crush Saga. Titled ‘Dreamworld’ and available from today across Facebook and mobile platforms (iOS and Android), this new game mode will transport players to a parallel world of dream-inspired levels, introducing a magical twist to the traditional Candy Crush Saga game.

This enchanting new ‘Dreamworld’ mode is unlocked for existing and new Candy Crush Saga players after they’ve completed Level 50 on the Saga map. Once unlocked, a new dream-like Saga map becomes available where players can experience the earlier levels of the game again but in a challenging new way.

In ‘Dreamworld’ a magical new character, Odus the Owl, introduces an additional layer of gameplay. It’s all about equilibrium – keep Odus the Owl perched on his half-moon by crushing the correct coloured candies which consequently keeps him steady and stable.

In addition, players can look forward to new mesmerising special effects including the ‘Moon Struck’ reward which introduces a new game state where some coloured candies are removed from the board, making it easier to complete the level.

“We’re thrilled to offer new and existing Candy Crush Saga players an exciting new way of playing the game,” says Tommy Palm, Games Guru at King. “We hope that the new ‘Dreamworld’ mode will prove a fun twist for newcomers to the game and a tantalising challenge for our loyal fanbase. As with all our games, we endeavour to offer our valued players a regular flow of exciting new content – we hope that they will love the new map, as much as we’ve enjoyed developing it.”

With 65 ‘Dreamworld’ levels available at launch, player progression on mobile devices will seamlessly synchronise with Facebook so they can unlock new levels and access leaderboards wherever and whenever they like, without losing their progress in the game.

The ‘Dreamworld’ levels are available now on Facebook, Android and iOS devices.
