Are you a fan of popular, pixelated games like Minecraft and Tiny Towers? Now featured as number two on the iTunes App chart is the addictive game, The Blockheads!
This old-school adventure features your own block character. He or she is affected by their surroundings such as weather when climbing up mountains or swimming down to the depths of a pixel ocean. Your character also has a happiness and energy level which can be restored by sleeping or meditating. Along the way, you collect items around you to fight for survival and combine objects with other objects to create something useful. You adventure on alone in the blocked-out universe while trying to stay alive.
Despite is simple appearance, this touch screen game actually has very clear graphics and the game itself does not freeze or lag. You also have the option to compete against other players by connecting the games through WiFi.
This app is 100% free and available for download on the iTunes App store by any smartphone.
