Bitcoin Lightning Network

LightningBlocks

A voxel world where Lightning payments trigger real-time gameplay events. Pay sats, change the game instantly.

PS

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

1

Pay sats

A Lightning invoice appears in-game or on the store. Pay with any Lightning wallet.

2

Payment settles

Settlement is instant. No credit card, no app store, no third-party processor.

3

Game reacts

The webserver notifies the game client and the event happens in real time.

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.
