    This game is just ar ip off of minecraft, inspired, I say not. And the fact you have to pay to make things just dumbs, I hate it so much. And it makes not sense, it's to limited and needs improvement ASAP, even then I will still hate it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a great game!, it has almost everything for a realistic survival, it isn't very easy at your first day, but not too hard. i think it gives more than iOS version of Minecraft. Awesome game!… Expand

    This game is good. You have to get used to the fact that it's mostly tapping, but in my opinion it's a great free 2d game to counter minecraft or terraria. I heavily recommend it.

    This game is terrible! The community is awful and discouraging, and I’ve tried giving the community manager a chance. To say the least, I was banned for no good reason. The game itself is boring and uses the freemium business model. Play Minecraft or Terraria, not this garbage.

    On an iPhone or iPad, the 2-D, side-scrolling block-based sandbox is a winning formula, and The Blockheads is the most well-executed, true-to-Minecraft game I've had the pleasure to experience on iOS.

    Rewarding for Notch fans though it's a little derivative - if The Blockheads were a food, it would be a cube of marmite. [Apr 2013, p.89]

    Yes, it is quite "similar" to some other games out there. However it's almost infinite, full of possibilities and very fun. Might be hard to play on small devices, but being free we think it deserves a try.
