    Someone is furious that they compared 2 games together. Cute.

    As the UI is OpenGL it probably wouldn't be hard to port the game itself to Android, but that wouldn't let you do cross platform multiplayer because it's done using Apple's Game Center.

    Big company that they are, I suspect Majic Jungle would rather concentrate on iOS.

    To me, junk jack is in the same league as minecraft, and its 2d.. Possibly even better than miney. But I've only played the iOS minecraft so I could be biased. I sank way more hours into junk jack than I did minecraft pocket edition, and I paid like $9 for minecraft and not even half that for junkie.

    Ill give this one a go. I was going to ignore it when I thought it was just a junk jack clone, but the hunger bars interest me. Could be a nice new sims spin on minecraft.

    Nothing will ever beat Crafted.

    Kidding aside, this is a fantastic game so far, I really like the control scheme. However, I keep placing blocks instead of moving - need to get used to that!

    Why don't the timer bars count down when you close the app like the rest of the time management games on the App Store?

    Some of the crafting takes ages

    I'm liking this but the waiting is killing me, might grab junk jack when it gets widescreen support.

    I was lucky enough to be a beta tester for The Blockheads. I can't rave about it enough. The controls are great (just click where you want to go or what you want to do). The crafting progress you make is really engaging. Digging/mining and building stuff is really cool (I just built a skyscraper).

    I'm a game developer too & the game dev "sickness" is that we typically only play a few minutes of any game then move on. I keep playing The Blockheads and I love it. It's a brilliantly designed and very polished game. Get it!

    Started playing, looks cool, but have someone reached far without buying anything with real money? I don't wan't to get too excited and find myself with a IAP wall.

    I'm taking it that as you can mine time crystal ore in the game that once you get to that point you can make your own time crystals.

    Ill clarify this as soon as I get to that point !

    I bought the IAP to permanently halve crafting time to support the devs and halve my need for crystals.

    Amazing game I'm hooked !

    Just started playing but I have to say I really like the control scheme. I love Junk Jack but this control scheme works so much better for touch. Great job dev!

    I like that I can select a bunch of areas and just watch the character hack away.

    I agree with what someone else said, I can't really get into this one. I'm sure to keep playing it due to it's potential popularity but right now it's just eh for me. I'm not really into the qeueing method of games, I like controlling my characters fully, but that's personal preference.

    That said, the game is executed perfectly for what it is meant to be. I haven't been able to get an online match yet but that's probably due to it just being released. The devs did well for what it is. One problem I've had is that I have had a bunch of crashes already on my iPhone 4 5.1.1
    Despite this, I have had an okay time playing the game. I think once Growtopia comes out I'll move on to that, since I had a great time playing it on Android.

    On the portal it says that you can warp in block heads. What does that do?
