What is Build An Obby?
Build An Obby is a creative platformer that lets players design, build, and play their own obstacle courses. Inspired by the popular "obby" (obstacle course) games from Roblox, this title combines construction mechanics with platforming gameplay in a satisfying loop of creation and challenge.
Players start with a small plot and basic building materials, gradually expanding their course as they earn money from completing their own creations. The game rewards both creative design and skilled platforming.
How to Play
The game features two main modes with simple controls:
Building Mode

Play Mode
