update your Bloxels avatar

Already have one you love? ✅ Skip ahead to the design challenge below.

  • Avatars are characters, not art.
    • You’ll make your avatar in the Character Builder.
    • It can move (animated) or stay still — up to you.
  • Only the first frame matters.
    • Your avatar picture comes from the first frame of the Idle state.
    • Make sure that first frame looks exactly how you want it.
  • Set it as your profile picture.
    • Go to My Profile (home screen button, or tap your avatar square anywhere).
    • Press the Pencil icon next to your avatar picture.
    • Choose your new character → click to set it.

✅ Now your avatar will show up everywhere — in the Arcade and on your games.

Creating a new avatar

The view you see of your character on the Character Builder selection screen is what it will look like if selected to be your avatar.

If you’re creating a new character just to serve as your avatar, you only need to complete one frame of the IDLE state.

Just press on the one you want to select. What you see is how it will appear. If your avatar is animated, you will see an animated version of it in your profile.

🎉 That’s it! Your avatar is now part of your Bloxels profile. You’re ready to play, build, and show off your creations!

Challenge time!

One level. One hour. One awesome game.

Goal: Build a complete, playable game today.

Keep it small: under one minute to play through.

☑ Must include:

  • A clear start & finish
  • At least 1 enemy
  • At least 1 collectible or power-up

🎮 Choose your style:

  • Platformer: a short run from start to finish
  • Top-Down: a single arena or space to explore

🚀 Bonus (if you finish early):

  • Add a backstory/theme (why is the hero here?).
  • Create a boss fight ending.
  • Hide a secret area.
  • Make it harder, funnier, or trickier for friends.

Think about it!

Reflect on what you made

Ask yourself:

  • Does my game have a beginning, middle, and end?
  • Did I use all 8 block types to make it fun?
  • Did I make something I’m proud to show off?

👉 Next time: keep building! Add more levels, story, or surprises. You’re just getting started!
