Om detta spel

Programming is hard and it's often frustrating to figure out why something doesn't work. We made BlockBawks to take a gentle approach: 100+ challenges with individual guides and detailed explanations let you navigate your character through their block-based world. If you get stuck, you can easily ask for help from a friend who can join your game with the demo version of the game and help you out.

Once you are proficient in Python, you can write the most optimal code and conquer the leaderboards, or fight your friends in PvP - with code, of course!

Guides and explanations

BlockBawks contains a wide range of guides and explanations: from fully voiced explanations on the basic concepts of programming to a detailed documentation on how to use Python in BlockBawks.

Co-op: ask for help

It's nice to get help! Getting good often requires getting help. When you're stuck, simply ask friends or family members to download the free demo version of the game and invite them to your game. They can then see everything you see and edit your code to help you get rid of your current block(er).

PvP

Once you have mastered the challenges, you can battle friends in PvP. Or, more accurately, let your code battle your friends' code. You are thrown into a PvP arena and your character will entirely be controlled by your code.

Make your own challenges

BlockBawks contains a full level editor where you get access to a special programming environment to create your own challenges, which you can publish on the Steam Workshop.

How the world works

In BlockBawks everything is block-based, even your character. If you move, you always move forward, backward, left and right by full blocks. This makes writing code easy, you never need to worry where your character is, or if your enemy is in range or not. Movement and combat is turn-based: you get a certain number of action points, then it's your enemies' turn to do their evil deeds.

Save your code

Being a programmer means being lazy. Why would you rewrite something you have already done? BlockBawks lets you save your code and create modules you can reuse in later challenges or in PvP battles.

Hack BlockBawks itself

In need for more BlockBawks? You want all the bawks? Get the Source Code Access DLC and take a look at how it's made. As an advanced user, you can also create mods and publish them yourself (using C++ and GDScript).
