    Hey Trey, if I forgot to use the buildbox program during the challenge, can I still use the program even if the challenge is over?

    • Avatar Tiana says:

      Sure, as long as your trial license is valid you may use Buildbox under the terms of use. The challenge doesn’t start until you’ve activated it. If you have any difficulty feel free to contact our support team at support@buildbox.com.

  • Avatar Anthony says:

    Thanks Tiana,

    Can you tell me what other games besides Bounce are made with buildbox published under Ketchapp?

  • Avatar Anthony says:

    Trey I noticed a few games by Ketchapp that have some cool features.
    Don’t Touch The Spikes how was this created with buildbox? How do you do the dual player feature and all those game options? If this is buildbox it would be an awesome tutorial!

    For other games like Spring Ninja how do yo make the mobile phone buttons that allow you to hold down to set the strength of the jump?

    On Stick hero how to you make the controls and stick extend for a mobile app?

    Thanks for any info or tutorials on these. :)

    • Avatar Tiana says:

      Hi Anthony, unfortunately a lot of these great games are published by Ketchapp who we work with to publish game through, the ones you mention are not Buildbox creations nor are the game play types supported in Buildbox. We apologize for the confusion.

    Can you upload your own characters to use when building games on Buildbox

    • Avatar Tiana says:

      Hi John, yes you can upload your own characters. The images must be in PNG format and be no higher than 70 DPI. They should be scaled down to game size prior to import into Buildbox. Aim for iPhone 5 art standards as a baseline.
