Buildbox is a no-code game development platform that lets you create 2D and simple 3D mobile games using drag-and-drop tools.
For the rare SMB that wants a branded promotional game or gamified training, it could work. But most small businesses will never need it. The lack of a free tier and narrow focus make it a hard sell unless game development is part of your business model.
