A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Welcome to Boinga!

This is a little procedural 3D parkouring game. Each parkour level is made up of sets of blocks put together to form a complete level.

There are three difficulties, easy, medium, and hard, each using different spacing between each set of blocks, and different sets of blocks.

The goal is to reach the spinning red cube at the end of the parkour blocks.


Controls are:

  • WASD - movement
  • Mouse - looking around
  • X - dash
  • Space - jump (timing matters)
  • Ctrl - crouch (not typically useful)
  • Esc - open the pause menu
  • Alt - release the mouse
  • Tab - toggle visibility of the controls display
  • Left click/right click to destroy/place blocks
  • 1/2/3/4 to pick a block to place (a block must be picked before right clicking)


This is a game I have been working on sporadically for a while, it contains the remnants of my first programming project, so it is quite buggy. I'm simply putting it to rest by giving it a proper release.


Note that there are a few bugs:

  • The game does sometimes randomly crash (usually upon reaching the goal, or clicking a button)
  • There's a very difficult but possible race condition that won't delete a previous level's parkour blocks


This game requires OpenGL 4.5, and will typically just crash if it can't get it. This shouldn't be a problem for any somewhat recent computer, but will be a problem for example with WSL, virtual machines, and possibly some integrated graphics.

Also the linux app image is not very well tested... try it at your own leisure.

In case someone is interested, the source code is available (for free) at this github.

Install instructions

This should run out of the box for both linux and windows. For windows simply extract the zip file to a folder, and run the `cpp_engine_game.exe`. For linux, assuming you have AppImage support, run the appimage as an executable (you may need to `chmod +x` it).
