The player must craft items to progress in the game. The energy bar can be gradually filled by sleeping in a bed or on the ground, or it can be filled instantly by consuming caffeinated items like coffee. When the energy bar is depleted, the Blockhead will walk slower and 'collapse from exhaustion'. The Blockhead must eat food to prevent the hunger bar from entirely depleting, otherwise the health bar will deplete due to starvation. The hunger and energy bars will constantly decrease in most cases. The Blockheads have five statistics: health, happiness, hunger, energy, and environment, accessible from the in-game menu. The player can 'warp' a Blockhead through a portal, randomly generating a finite world of multiple sizes ranging from 1/16-16x that loops back to the portal. The game can also be hosted via an app for Mac users, although the availability of the world solely depends on the online status of the host. Since version 1.7, servers are paid for with in-app purchases and the game center option was removed. Multiplayer can be accessed over Wi-Fi, with worlds hosted over LAN, Game Center, or cloud servers, with the latter two only being available on iOS. The game features a player versus player option that enables players to attack one another in multiplayer mode. These include sharks, dodos, scorpions, drop bears, and fellow Blockheads.

Players control a customizable 'Blockhead' avatar and can explore their surroundings, navigate the world map, harvest materials to create structures, and craft more advanced tools and materials in the game.Īggressive and passive creatures exist on land, underground, and in bodies of water. The Blockheads is a 2.5D survival sandbox game. The Blockheads is a survival sandbox indie mobile game created by David Frampton, an indie developer and owner of Majic Jungle Software, a studio based in New Zealand.
