July has been an incredible month for Buildbox and our amazing game dev community. From major app store features to industry recognition, we’ve seen some big wins, and there’s even more on the horizon.
Whether you’re already building with us or just getting started, this is a moment to celebrate what we’ve accomplished together.
Drive, Not Dive Featured on the App Store, Twice!
Let’s give a huge round of applause to Buildbox creator Vikas Pawar! His latest game, Drive, Not Dive, built entirely in Buildbox, was featured not once, but twice on the App Store.
The game first appeared on the Today Tab, then made its way into the Weekly Challenge section, challenging players around the world to top a high score of 754. It’s a stylish, fast-paced game with a fun twist on driving mechanics, and it’s awesome to see it getting the recognition it deserves.
If you haven’t played it yet, go check it out on the App Store and see how high you can score!
Is This Yours? Lands a Spot in Google Play’s Indie Corner
Another major shoutout goes to Tepes Ovidiu, whose clever and charming game Is This Yours? was featured in the Indie Corner on Google Play!
The Indie Corner is a curated section that highlights some of the most creative and innovative games from independent developers, and we’re thrilled to see a Buildbox-made title holding a spot there.
It’s always inspiring to watch Boxers bring their ideas to life in unique and original ways, and Is This Yours? is a great example of that spirit in action.
Buildbox Nominated for Best Game Engine!
And here’s the cherry on top: Buildbox has officially been nominated for Best Game Engine at the 2025 Pocket Gamer Mobile Games Awards!
We’re incredibly honored to be recognized alongside some of the biggest names in the industry, but we couldn’t have done it without you. Every game you build, every idea you bring to life, is part of what makes Buildbox special.

We’re not done yet. In fact, we’ve got something very exciting coming your way soon.
