LightningBlocks
A voxel world where Lightning payments trigger real-time gameplay events. Pay sats, change the game instantly.
LightningBlocks
Build, explore, and interact in a browser-based voxel world. Pay Lightning invoices to trigger events — or let friends alter your game and collect 80% of the sats.
Also try PenguinShooter
Our classic demo game that first showed Lightning ingame payments.
How it works
Three steps to trigger any ingame event with LightningBlocks
Pay sats
A Lightning invoice appears in-game or on the store. Pay with any Lightning wallet.
Payment settles
Settlement is instant. No credit card, no app store, no third-party processor.
Game reacts
The webserver notifies the game client and the event happens in real time.
Create a Wallet
Get an LNBits wallet to pay in-game faster or collect rewards from friends.
Alter a Friend's Game
Buy upgrades, send handicaps, or trigger events via the livestream store.
Why Lightning instead of traditional payments?
Traditional ingame payments
- Third-party processors take a cut — Apple takes 30%
- Payments are slow and require redirects
- You buy currency bundles, not specific events
Bitcoin Lightning Network
- Direct payments — no middleman needed
- Instant settlement — events trigger immediately
- Micropayments — pay exactly for one action, e.g. 20 sats
Livestream your game — let your audience pay to change it
Stream LightningBlocks on Twitch or YouTube. Your audience creates Lightning invoices at the store to alter your gameplay — change your crosshair, donate sats, or trigger events. You keep 80% of the sats spent.
PenguinShooter also supports audience interaction — see the PenguinShooter Tutorial for details.
