The OxRox level editor was developed alongside the game rather than added after release.
The project is our modern remake of Safrosoft’s RoX: a darker, sharper take on the Boulder Dash formula built around quick movement, hostile creatures, and carefully constructed puzzles.
One vocabulary for official and custom caves
It works with the same cave format and the same boulders, creatures, hazards, and goals used by the included levels.
This required caves to store their layout and rules as portable data. A custom cave loads through the same path as an official one and can be tested directly from the editor.
The editor is also our main level-design tool. Small changes can be tested quickly without rebuilding the game.
