The Blockheads Reviews

by Blockheads Player

So, I guess this game is officially dead... The developers quit, the servers are deserted, and there are very few downloads.... The latest update really killed it for as good as it was. If you are fine with just single player sandbox that will never be updated again, this game is for you... For anyone else, I strongly suggest you either don't get this game, or get boatload of people to get it to encourage the developers that the game has hope. I'm sad to say this after 5 years of playing, goodbye Blockheads...

I've had a lot of fun with this game. The update made it even better. I've finally got myself a really advanced world with nothing like hacks or custom mode. One day, I'm playing as normal, I place a boat down then suddenly, a shark jumps out of the water and kills me even though I had full health. I suddenly notice that the sun got brighter. Then, it hit me: my world migrated to custom rules without me doing anything. "It's ok," I thought then I noticed my work bench was dirt instead of steel, "that's weird..." My world also somehow became an expert world while I was playing it. I now have an expert custom world that I intended to be a normal world. The size changed to 16x too and all of my world exploration went down the drain. Any explanations for this? Is this a bug? Is it a prank? Or is there something else that I don't know about?

Please fix this soon. I really like this game and I really worked hard on that world.

Aaa blockheads finally made a new update!! When I saw the tweet saying that big things were coming to the game, I was awfully excited. I love the new update and all the new things that were added! I like the idea of having to discover things instead of going the easy route and buying them straight from the trade portal. Though, I must say, I do have different thoughts on the whole "pay to add credit and create a server" kind of thing. But I do admit, it was a good idea and a fair one due to all the hacks and wasted servers from hacked time crystals. I understand that blockheads needs to find a new way to bring in more money from the game, but i must ask, is it really beneficial? We all know that blockheads is a game directly for anyone whom would like to play it and that includes children as well. Mostly children. Now, I don't necessarily agree with the prices for credit and worlds either. One US dollar for seven days of credit is a little too
much. Now, seeing this in the eyes of a child who would play this game, or anyone else really, this might just be the death of blockheads. I myself would not pay a whole dollar for just seven days of credit. I'm not saying it's better to get rid of the whole idea, what I mean is that there are better ways to do it than to pay actual cash. Thank you!

The new Update makes a lot of sense. Developers need a way to get cash to keep servers or programs running. In app buying to start up servers really helps with this. However limiting multiplayer to only servers or local play is a big mistake. Everyone should be able to play this game with their friends and this game in the future could be extended to Xbox, switch and PS4 councils if you the developers want it. Not everyone wants a sever world and taking away servers from so many people wanting more a personal just friend to friend world will be this games end. Look at Minecraft your competition and watch how they meet ends with everyone on multiplayer both with personal worlds and online servers. Minecraft is so old now and still many people are playing it together. If the blockheads can’t improve then it probably can’t stay for long. Regression instead of improving is how good ideas like these die. If the developers want the game to be better it needs to offer what other games don’t. Being a free download is not gonna be enough.

I used to play this game everyday, and visit my friends and build amazing cities. Then I thought, I'm running low on time crystals! So I went to a "Free TC" world, not knowing how evil and destructive TC could be. After a while I started to run my own TC world, then someone left a note and link to the website on my welcome message, "TIME CRYSTAL PIRATING! TC IS BAD!" And a link that led me to a website that explained how TC was a hack and glitch at the same time, and how it raised the price to support all cloud servers on blockheads. I never went to another TC world again, except for a few times, when I tried to warn the owner that TC would end blockheads. They didn't listen, so now it cost money to get servers to pay back for all the years of TC that lost poor Dave all his money. I can't play anymore either, nobody has a server, and I can't find any of my friends. Some might say it was Dave's fault that he didn't put that message on every TC server, but I'm pretty sure that there was just to many for him to do. Others might say they had nothing to do with it. In truth, it's my fault and the other million players that used TC, and as I predicted, blockheads lost population and most of its amazing servers. All I can say is, nobody listened.

I’ve been looking for a cave troll for A long time I have had no luck and you should make the cave troll more common they are so incredibly rare that the chances of you finding one seem like zero and you should make it easier to make a jet pack they are the most useful item in the game and the most expensive item in the game this game can be fun if you’re really really really really really really really really really really good at it but you really need to make it easier to get electricity for your furnaces and stuff and all the electric things like the electric press all those things that are super Duper useful and there’s one that I forgot the name of but you need it to make the jet pack and you need electricity for it and I cannot make a solar panel I have a huge base but I just cannot get enough resources and you should make the character swim faster in water because there is some really really really really really really really really really long oceans there’s one that took me like three hours to swim across and I forgot my boat and I had to waste 50 time crystals because I needed a workbench and I couldn’t find any flax to make Taylor‘s bench and make a boat

So I love the new update, some of it anyways. I like the ability to customize myself and I love the pizza. Although there's one concern. I dislike that you have to PAY MONEY to create a server. It makes me mad because that basically means that the TCs are useless. Yes, they're handy to have so you may speed through the process of crafting something, or when you're too far from spawn you may teleport, otherwise, yes they are useless. I understand that the creators didn't make a lot of money during this game because of hacking, two things about that. So the first thing is that the creators should take care of the hacking and look into it more. Second thing is that the creators shouldn't be concerned about not making enough money, because as long as the kids are having fun playing the game that should make the creators happy. Also, instead of CHARGING KIDS TO CREATE A SERVER, the creators can make them charge for other things. Like if a kid wanted a super over-powered weapon that no one can craft, just make them pay! Obviously not twenty dollars, but maybe 2-3 dollars because let me tell ya, I'm not rich nor are a lot of other kids. Just sayin! Now whomst created this game, pls read this and take it into concern. ;p

I remember when I first downloaded this game six years ago, and I liked it but not so much that I felt happy thinking about it. Then, I saw the servers, and my eventual friends. It was a great time, building skyscrapers and role playing. I was so glad I ever came across this game in my lifetime.

Of course that didn’t stay. I still miss them, and what do I do when I miss them? I go on their servers. What do I do when there’s no credit? I add more credit, at least just one day to remember old things, using my time crystals I got from videos. Or at least, I used to before the credit started costing money. This game was like an escape from the world and now money has to be dragged into this escape. There’s not really any use for playing anymore unless on a single player world by yourself. But I’ve heard from other reviews that even single player worlds are starting to have bugs.

If money to keep this game is the problem, I guess all we can accept is that good things don’t last. I will always remember back when this game was full of life and for that I thank you, but it’s time I find something different.

Playing the new update for about a day has really caught my attention. The HD textures are now available for everyone to use. I guess it is kind of fair for it to be free since now owners have to pay for servers. I can see why they wanted people to pay for these servers and I believe it was very smart. Money doesn't come from the sky, and the developer probably didn't receive enough money to fund for this game anyways, since this time crystal hack was creating to many unused worlds. The pricing for a world is not that bad. Just add Blockheads to your monthly tax, and everyone will have fun. This new expert mode is super challenging, unlike vanilla survival. Now, you must upgrade the workbench for 1 single craftable table to use for survival. It's pretty harsh, but silly since there is a total of 29 total upgrades to craft all the benches. New food items and ingredients really brought this game to life now that there is a variety of choices you can mix together. Still trying to figure out how to obtain a pet. Still, this is all from a days worth of experience. You can find more things to like in game that I haven't explained. All in all, blockheads has really pulled off this update in a successful way, for the developer of course. I hope to see the blockheads community expand their creativity with this new and amazing update.

I loved this game and it’s still good I played since I was 7 and is now 13 I remember the first day I got it and it was still of updates and I didn’t have my own phone so every time I got out of school all I thought about were three things... eat dinner, finish homework and then marathon of playing blockheads. So many memories such a good game this should be number 1 on App Store it’s a more advanced 2d version of Minecraft and by advanced I don’t mean harder I mean more things to do and I should mention the fact that it’s free if people are annoyed cause you have to pay for servers then... why the developers have to make money some how anyways I might get this game again but highly unlikely it’s so rare to see people in servers anymore the community is dying and lets be honest single player isn’t to fun... by blockheads I’ll miss you so much and thank you Magik for creating an amazing game 😀 😓

by Kevin T. Rocks!!!!!!! :):):

The Blockheads combines elements of other popular games, similar to Minecraft and Terraria and puts in a 2-D aesthetic to it. It uses commonly known soundtracks to make you commonly stop and listen to the worlds of music geniuses and yet combines it with the feel of the game.

When you plop into your little world, everything is quick to get and fun to work towards. Materials are common everywhere if you know where to look, achievements are common, the world is massive for exploration, containing forests, deserts, mountains, and groves of trees usually containing fruit. The underground, especially the caves, are massively long and contain treasures, ores, and a knack of “I gotta go back down that path after this one” even though your current path will lead you to even more caves.

The game can be rough on you and relaxing at any time. The grind begins somewhat slow, but once you get some electrical tools you’ll be fine.

Greetings reader 👽🖖🏽 . I am writing this message at 2:09 AM, on October 22nd, 2020. I have been playing this game since about 2013, and this game has been a great impact in my life. When I lived in an apartment, I felt trapped not being able to go into nature and use its resources to create homes, and campsites. I have always wanted to go camping in my life, and when I was unable, I played this game. This game introduced me to a world 🗺. One in which no other people could restrict my freedom. If the developer acquires an opportunity to read through this entire message, thank you. And I will not give up on this game to receive an update. The topic of the update has the possibility of expansion into the true outer space that our universe contains. A stargate would be necessary, as well as a new technology tree into spiritual and metaphysical sciences/technologies. Full disclosure is arriving soon, and I would like to see this game incorporate concepts of advanced technology suppressed by mainstream media and world governments. You should also get creative with this game, it can be an amazing opportunity at business. A new avenue of income perhaps? Or a step into a life of world-renown fame🧐🧐👽🦾 I have finished writing this message at 2:18AM, on Thursday, October 22nd, 2020.

This game is amazing one of my favorite games but great games have suggestions all the time first I feel you should add backgrounds instead of just having clouds and the sun what if you also had trees and plants that aren't interactive but spice up the game second more biomes there should be jungles, forsts, and swamps. Third more mobs / animals right now we only have about ten mobs but what if you added new mobs like dogs pigs cows. There should also be more hostile mobs in caves it is sometimes boring because there is like no action adding skeletons or goblins would really spice up the game. Another thing is campfires they should be able to cook meat. A last thing is if you made crafting take less time that would be cool. Thanks for reading. This game is amazing if you add these things it would take it to the next level though. This game is amazing though you don't have to add these :)

This game is one of my favorite, I have had it on 3 of my devices, the gen 1 iPad, iPhone 4s and my current iPhone 6s and they work perfectly on all of them. I love this game and I don't hack which makes it even better (I have never even heard about the hacks until I read some reviews just now) I have made my way across the world on all world sizes and played a number of custom worlds but they said they were working on a huge update in September of 2016... its February 2017, where is this big update PLEASE!!! I love this game and I want lots of new fun stuff to do like more minerals or animals or tools or misc. items like....... something better than an empty mind like mine. If you somehow see all the bad reviews first they may just be trying to hate the game so don't let them make the game seem bad when it's amazing. 6/2 IGN wood play again. Thank you for making an amazing game for everyone majic, thank you very much

I love this game so much! It's the reason I got an iPad. I started playing when this game first came out, and I even purchased the updated version even when I never pay for any other apps. This game is so refreshing and relaxing, I love to play it before I go to bed. It's in my list of my all time favorite games. I love the graphics with the stars in the sky, and when it turns morning in the game, the sky is a pretty purple pink with orange. I also love how the leaves of the trees show up as little dots when they fall, like the wind is blowing them. It's a beautiful stimulating game, I really enjoy looking for and collecting, and crafting items. I even tried playing minecraft because I thought it would be similar to this game and I was so disappointed, this game is 100 times better. I love the complexity of this game, 5/5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️please add more updates because I love this game:)

I’ve been enjoying blockheads for almost 3 years now, and yes they have been many times of sorrow. As at times the game seemed to run dry of players, hacking, tc piracy, glitching, server crashing, and much more were all devastating to the games reputation, and I see low rating on here by people who admit to being hackers!!!! And the only reason they get angry is because they can’t abuse they’re money hacks and buy free servers or credit anymore, and I’m thankful for the payment, I’m sick of players like them ruining the lifestyle for game developers. They worked hard on this game, and what do they get in return? Hate, abuse, exploiting, and they get no cash or expense back from all of it. If I could I would rate this game 10 stars. I feel bad of what has succumb of todays society. Though the game may be dying... I believe in the devs of blockheads, I do hope that one day... people will remember this game and it will rise in popularity. Good luck to you blockheads developers.

Downloaded this game two years ago and didn't think much of it until I really started to play it. I loved it. But unfortunately I had to get rid of it and haven't re-installed it until now. Boy, I was just hit with a wave of nostalgia. The music is so calming and I love the peaceful ambiance. Unlike other games similar to this, Minecraft, Terraria, ect. This game focuses more on the crafting and exploring aspect versus something like Minecraft whereas you are constantly worrying about mobs and defeating bosses. All you have to worry about in this game is the baboons in the trees and sharks. And you can avoid those easily.
Not a fan of online servers, like many other people in the reviews have stated, you get banned for no apparent reason in some cases. Also not a fan of portals. But I don't really care much for those aspects of this game. I play single player and am perfectly happy with it.
Overall, this game was very enjoyable to play and I am glad I came back to it. Will definitely be playing in the foreseeable future.

As the title says, when I was young, at the age of 7, I used to play blockheads every single day, back then I had many iPads and each time I would get a new account and just play with myself mind games and such. It was so fun, I remember building a hotel out of dirt and then leaving for a while and then coming back to find stuff like glass and limestone came out, I actually hacked the game too haha, I got this iPad online from eBay that had this hacked client on it and I got so many of those timestone thingys lol, of course now that iPad is broken, old, gone now. Then things like those on the game page came out, the steam age and the sky islands, I loved those days. But then I was introduced to Minecraft and blockheads was just another dream. I just bought a new iPad and now I can’t wait to play blockheads again. To be honest I can’t believe I still remember the game, I have the memory of a goldfish. I can’t wait to start again. A new year a new day. I wonder if anything changed from when I last played.

I can’t believe I didn’t realize that “Free TC” was pirated and made my boy Dave lose everything. I admit, I hauled a BUNCH of free tc to me and my friends. I’m sorry for not realizing, but hands down, The Blockheads is one of the best games I have ever played. I’m not one for mobile games, but when I started playing back in 2013, boy I had some fun. Almost everything about this game is absolutely perfect, but there’s a few small things I don’t fully agree with. I like how the trade portal is realistic but if I find an extra diamond and want to sell it, I can’t even get a platinum coin? Also, if I wanted to buy a diamond, if costs 3 platinum coins+? I’d love it if we could get more money from selling. The only other minor complaint I have, is that this game would be the best game ever if it had more updates. The last update that added stuff was 2 years ago, but it did have a LOT of content in it, which I’m glad! But the last update we got was almost a year ago and it was only some minor bug fixes. Well, this concludes my review on your amazing game. Keep working hard!

9.9/10

the following things would
Make this game playable for years without eating food irl. More wildlife birds (that fly) hostile mobs such as mountain lions in mountains. Actual bears in forests. Maybe more common sharks. Spiders underground. Snakes underground and above ground but maybe snakes above ground do less damage then underground ones. And we need more building options! Suxh as stilts. Slabs. Slanted blocks. shingles for roofs. And a way to change how tired you character gets and how fast in the world options. LOCKABLE CHESTS/doors please! Theft is all too common on servers and greifing is way to common ik there is ownership signs but they are hard to make! Gold is rare. Please make ownership signs not take gold just a sign at the portal. And please make normal players able to place them, but not make them. Or make it so unadmined people can have one ownership sign and no more! If theres no active/good admins on a server its a free for all of greifers and thieves. Please make seasons more obvious and long and make freezing to death more dangerous and maybe make a way to see non custom seeds for worlds. I think this is all the stuff that needs to be added big time. Good game though just gets boreing after to small of a time

The Blockheads is the only game I play, it is similar to Minecraft and Terraria but much, much better. You can mine, explore, gather supplies, craft, hunt, fight, play on your own, play with friends, random people over the net, and build very amazing things. Did I mention pets and breeding? I've been playing this game for over three years now and I never had to spend a thing, however I did buy HD textures back in 2015, and now they're free for those lucky new users. It's a great game that you can play without paying anything and the timeless gameplay captures people of very young ages to older adults. The multiplayer community has some fantastic worlds to play on, I just love seeing what people come up with and creating amazing things myself. The forums community is great if you ever have a question and want it answered, they are super friendly. Support's email always responds to your issues very quickly, not like I have many issues on this game anyway.
