An obby maker for when Roblox Studio feels like too much

An obby is the simplest fun game there is: jump from platform to platform, don't touch the lava, reach the end. Building one in Roblox Studio means installing it on a computer, learning the editor, and scripting checkpoints in Luau. If you just want your course to exist and your friends to play it tonight, you can describe it instead.

DreamCore is not Roblox and isn't connected to it. Courses you make here run in a web browser, and you share them with a link, not inside the Roblox app. If your goal is to publish on Roblox, Roblox Studio is still the tool. If your goal is "I want to make an obby", read on.

Try a tiny obby first

This one has everything a real obby needs: a start, gaps to jump, a moving platform, two checkpoints, lava, and a finish flag with a timer.

Play a one-minute obby, then make yours

This course was hand-coded for DreamCore as an interaction example. It is not an AI-generated result. The prompt below asks for the same rules; your course will have its own layout and look.

Open the obby in a separate page

Obby prompt to paste Make a 2D side-view obby. Arrow keys or on-screen buttons to move, Space or a Jump button to jump. Jump across floating platforms over lava, with one platform that moves up and down. Add two checkpoint flags that turn green when I touch them, and when I fall into the lava, respawn me at the last checkpoint. End with a checkered finish flag that shows my time and how many times I fell. Copy the prompt

Build my obby

Copy the prompt, open the home screen, paste it, and press Make. You'll sign in before it builds. Press 3D first if you want a 3D course.

Then make it yours, one section at a time

• Add a stage after the second checkpoint with three platforms that disappear a second after I land.
• Make it a candy world: pink platforms and chocolate instead of lava.
• Show my best time on the finish screen.

Play to the finish yourself before sharing, so you know every jump can actually be made.

What to put in your obby prompt

An obby is a list of parts. Write the parts and you have written the game:

• The view. 2D side view (like the example) or 3D behind the player. Press 2D or 3D under the box.
• The controls. Arrow keys and Space on a computer, buttons or a joystick on a phone.
• The jumps. How many platforms, how far apart, whether some move, shrink or disappear.
• What kills you. Lava, spikes, falling off the bottom, a spinning bar.
• Checkpoints. Where you come back after falling. Say "come back to the last checkpoint, not the start", or people will quit.
• The finish. A flag, a trophy, a door. What it shows: your time, your falls, a "play again" button.
• The vibe. "Candy land", "neon space", "jungle temple". One or two words is enough.

Then press Make. A few minutes later you can play it.

Making it harder (without making it unfair)

Obby players love hard courses and hate unfair ones. Change one thing at a time and play it after each change:

• "Add a section with three disappearing platforms after the second checkpoint."
• "Make the moving platform faster, but keep the gap the same."
• "Put a timer on screen and save my best time on the finish screen."
• "Add a stage 2 that unlocks after you finish stage 1."

If a change goes too far, open version history and restore the version before it.

Roblox Studio vs. describing it here

Plenty of people use both: they sketch an idea here in an evening, see if it is fun, and only then spend weeks building the big version somewhere else.

Sharing your obby

Press Share to get a link. Friends open it on a phone or a computer and play straight away. Want them to make their own version of your course? Turn on remixing in the publish settings and they can start from yours. Games start as link-only; switch to everyone when you want it on your profile and in public listings.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make a Roblox obby with this?

No. DreamCore makes games that run in a web browser, not inside Roblox, and it isn't affiliated with Roblox. You can make an obby-style game here and share it with a link.

Can my obby be 3D?

Yes. Press 3D under the input box, or just say "3D, camera behind the player" in your description.

Do I need a computer to make an obby?

No. You can make and play it in your phone's browser. On a phone the game gets touch buttons, and on a computer it uses the keyboard.

Can I add checkpoints and a timer?

Yes. Ask for them in your description, like "respawn at the last checkpoint" and "show my time at the finish". You can add them later too, one message at a time.

Is it free to make an obby?

The free plan lets you make, play and share games, with a daily limit on how many you can create. No card is needed.

Can my friends play without an account?

Yes. They open your link and play. They only need to log in to leave a reaction or put their name on the leaderboard.
