Build a Hideout and Fight is a game created by Voxhall. It was Voxhall's most visited game before his termination. Despite being a popular game between 2012 and 2013, the game has been heavily criticized for its deceptive advertising, having disguised itself with different names and game thumbnails in order to attract new users to the game as a way to gain Tickets for Voxhall. This method was also practiced by infamous users like jaredvaldez4. In March 2013, the game beat The Complex by spyro372 as the most post popular game at the time.
Gameplay[]
Players spawn on a map similar to that of Welcome to ROBLOX Building. The map is located on a grassy field, with little sections dividing the limit where a user can build his/her creation. The whole map is surrounded by an ocean. Three different harbors are located one side of the map. A spawn is located within each section, and only one player can spawn per section. Users are given a stamper tool when they spawn, so that they can build their creations onto their given section on the map. These same tools are located in the build mode of most games. Credits are earned throughout the game for amount of time spent in the game, as opposed to actual kills. The credits do not save. There is a shop GUI, where players can buy weapons to kill each other with using the credits listed above. Players do not spawn with any weapons in the beginning of the game.

Criticism[]
One of the main criticisms of the game is the deceptive advertising tricks used on the thumbnail and game name in order to attract more visitors; many users accused Voxhall of scamming others. Build a Hideout and Fight is also accused of having poor gameplay and little effort gone into creating/improving the game. Several complaints are present in gameplay as well. One is that players do not spawn in a wall or with ForceFields, making spawnkilling a common complaint in game. Voxhall has stated that he would address this problem in a future update, but was never able to due to his termination. Another big complaint often seen in the place is a majority of the weapons in the shop either cannot be purchased (broken GUI), or they do not work when purchased.
