Bloxels vs Construct 3

Bloxels is a paid game-creation app for making characters, artwork, stories, and 2D games without coding. It runs on Android, iOS, and the web. Creators can build side-scrolling platformers or top-down games through dedicated Games, Characters, Art, and Backgrounds modes, then publish finished projects in the Bloxels Arcade. Character Lab provides controls for speed, size, health, and special abilities. Themed asset packs offer ready-made art, characters, and backgrounds that can be edited, mixed, or used unchanged. Optional physical boards and blocks can be captured as game characters, layouts, or art. Bloxels EDU adds educator resources, support, private class collaboration, and teacher controls over sharing, arcade access, and asset packs. Personal accounts cost $3.99 per month or $19.99 per year, with no free plan. An internet connection is required.

Construct 3 is a 2D game engine for building games with visual logic and optional JavaScript or TypeScript. Its event system lets creators specify behavior through conditions and actions without a conventional programming language; scripts can also be placed in events or separate project files. The editor runs in a browser without a download or installation and can also be installed as an app. A browser trial is available without an email address or registration. Projects can be exported to HTML5 web, Android and iOS through Cordova, and desktop wrappers for Windows, macOS and Linux. Construct works offline after its first load, though subscribers must reconnect at least once every seven days for revalidation. The Free Edition allows 50 events with a verified email or 25 as a guest, and limits publishing to web or Construct Arcade. Paid versions add desktop and mobile publishing and monetization options including advertising and in-app purchases. The Educational Plan is listed at $9.99 a month with a three-seat minimum; other listed license prices are not stated.
