Customizable Sci-Fi Games

This Bloxels Star Wars Game Lets Players Make Their Own Entertainment

— November 17, 2017 — Art & Design
Over the years, there have been a number of Star Wars games released, but Bloxels is now giving fans of the franchise the chance to customize their play experience with a special board game kit.

The Star Wars Bloxels set takes the form of a board game with blocks that can be used to build a custom game that can be played on one's mobile device. As such, the game boasts huge appeal to kids who are interested in learning the basics of coding and programming, but lack the know-how to craft their own designs from scratch.

Each block in the Star Wars Bloxels kit represents a different aspect of the in-game world. While green blocks may be used to build terrain, others like red blocks provide hazards. Users may also use a feature on the app to share their own creations and try out the levels made by others.
Trend Themes
1. Customizable Board Games - Creating board games with customizable features can provide unique and personalized experiences for players and potentially increase engagement.
2. Gamification for Learning - Introducing coding and programming concepts through gaming can make learning more interactive and enjoyable for kids.
3. User-generated Content Gaming - Incorporating features that allow users to share and play levels created by others can lead to a more collaborative and engaging gaming experience.
Industry Implications
1. Toy and Game Manufacturing - Manufacturers can explore creating customizable board games that cater to different preferences and skill levels to capture a wider audience and boost sales.
2. Education and E-learning - Integrating gamification and coding education into e-learning platforms can make learning more interactive and hands-on, propelling student engagement and knowledge retention.
3. Mobile App Development - Designing features that allow user-generated content and social interaction can give mobile games the edge in a highly competitive market, increasing downloads and retention rates.
