StageMechanic

Create, play and share your own block-pushing puzzle games!

StageMechanic is a block-pushing 3D action/puzzle game and educational tool.

StageMechanic centers around its built-in level editor - in fact, all of the built-in levels are made using the integrated level editor and serve as a demonstration of the types of levels that can be easily created.

You can then take things one step further and modify many existing properties on items and blocks - such as the fuse time of bombs, or how high a cannon will shoot you into the air, letting you customize your stage in many unique ways.

You can even use the built-in code editor to create your own block and item behaviors!

This is a volunteer and education-oriented project

StageMechanic is an Open Source project developed by volunteers to help support game development education programs in rural Mississippi. There are no ads, no microtransactions, no data collection. Purcahses of the Full version help fund free instructor-led technology education clases for the underprivileged in our local community.

It is currently in active development with fully functional preview versions available for desktop/laptop and Android.

We were recently featured in the Arts section of the Shoofly Magazine
