    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.

    A game that prizes exploration and creativity above all else, The Blockheads is a great way to waste a couple of days.

    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.

    The Blockheads is missing the real secret sauce that made Minecraft king of the current gaming zeitgeist: community.
