# Voxel Game

> A free, browser-based voxel builder for making small isometric scenes — islands, houses, paths, water, and props — with no download and no account. The site also publishes plain-language reference guides about voxel games as a genre.

Voxel Game is a static site. The builder itself is client-side JavaScript and Canvas; scenes are saved to the visitor's own browser via localStorage, and nothing is uploaded to a server.

## The builder

- [Play the voxel builder](https://voxel-game.com/play/): The playable builder. Place terrain, nature, props, water, and buildings on an isometric grid. Free, runs in any modern browser, no download or signup, scene saves automatically to the browser.

- [Voxel train yard](https://voxel-game.com/train-yard/): An animated voxel model railway demo. An HO scale layout on a table with running trains, a freight yard, a rotating turntable, a harbor with a working crane, a town, a day-night cycle, and a physical control desk the visitor drags and clicks to set train speed, move the sun, and switch the lights. Built as a single HTML file with Three.js; all geometry is generated in code, with no external models or textures.

## Guides

- [What is a voxel game?](https://voxel-game.com/what-is-a-voxel-game/): Defines a voxel as a volumetric pixel — a cube-shaped point in a 3D grid — and explains how voxel games differ from conventional polygon-mesh games, with common examples.
- [Is Minecraft a voxel game?](https://voxel-game.com/is-minecraft-a-voxel-game/): Explains why Minecraft is commonly called voxel-based, how its blocks relate to voxels, and why some developers dispute the label on technical grounds.
- [Best voxel games in 2026](https://voxel-game.com/best-voxel-games/): Twelve voxel games organized by use case rather than a single ranking — creative sandboxes, survival worlds, destruction toys, engineering sandboxes, voxel MMOs, and browser builders.
- [How to make a voxel game](https://voxel-game.com/how-to-make-a-voxel-game/): A beginner roadmap covering world data, rendering, chunking, placement rules, controls, saving, performance, and publishing.
