Fork of Unknown Origins posted:I never could get too into minecraft or the 2-D clones on iOS (like junk jack) but I'm having a lot of fun with Blockheads. I'm definitely throwing down for the double speed thing. The animations are really fluid for movement; I love that I can scale walls and don't have to worry about ladders and boring stuff like that. I'm building a gigantic ladder downwards. Gravity can suck my britches.

If you scroll all the way down, it shows starlight on the other side of the world.  I just made a hat. I'm very happy.

Blockhead is nice and Minecrafty, but it's very crash-prone on my iPhone 4. That annoys me.

Monkeys attack you if you chop down their trees too (obviously enough). Meditation appears to restore happiness. oh and the £1.99 double speed crafting is totally worth it. Zwilnik fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Jan 10, 2013 |

Meditation actually gains you items when you fill the bar. When mine finished I got a ruby, chili pepper, and a carrot. It helps to have 2 people. I also splurged on the doubler, and bought some crystals, which is worth it since I'll be playing this game for some time. Oh and you need a woodworking bench for beds, doors, and the like.

Goons, I just got an iPad mini, and I'm looking for good strategy games to play for it. I love the Kairosoft games, and I'd enjoy games like Clash of Clans or Battle Nations if it weren't for the terrible pace without IAP. I'm also not interested in PvP games -- I have no desire to work on something for a week just to have someone who's been playing forever roll through as soon as some stupid newbie protection buff wears off. Anything 4X, turn-based, or strategy-RPG flavored would be welcome, too!

It's funny, I've been avoiding it for months because I thought it was an IAP crippled piece of crap but I decided to give it a chance during the Christmas break and really enjoy it. I just pop in for 5-10 mins each day and do my upgrades/launch an attack/whatever. I haven't spent a cent on it yet and don't plan to but I am having fun with it. If you're patient, you really don't need to spend any money at all. I just wish there was some way of restarting your game.

Town Hall 9 is where it gets serious business but I still don't think it will be true then. It's just everything will take about a week to build.

I'm playing it too. You get protection from attacks depending on how brutalized you were in your last one. Getting all your stuff flattened gives you a 24h shield. I'm at the stage where my mines are taking 4+ days to upgrade tho.

He had spent around a thousand dollars on the game over 8 months or so, so I don't think he was a casual player. He had to stop because he said it was becoming too expensive to compete. I guess waiting is not an option if you are specifically competing with people.

Thats why I was curious, I have heard from some people that you don't actually lose anything when you get attacked - so what are competitive players spending money on? Speeding up timers to have a more awesome base that can't be defeated, depriving other players of a victory even though a defeat would have no real consequences? If you get defeated is there a waiting period before you can attack people back or something that you can pay to hurry?

You might lose about 10% of resources in an attack but its nothing really bad. Why do I play? I don't really know, it is just a build a base simulator!

I also jumped on the Clash of Clans bandwagon, and also threw some bux at it since I had an iTunes gift card that I got for Christmas lying around. Is it worth trying to set up a SA clan? I don't know how that poo poo works, I'm only at a level 3 town hall. Also The Blockheads is fun as heck, gonna give them $3 for the time doubler for sure. Also it's way more fun to imagine that the monkeys are drop bears.

I was assuming they were tree sloths (since they don't move), and I was loving this being the first game ever with angry tree sloths. I vote drop bears too. Just found something else rather cool. Water displaces when you build in it

Blockheads is pretty cool. I'm bad at these games but its cool. I just want to say thank you to whomever decided to make it portrait or landscape. That is such an awesome feature because depending where I am I can still control the game even if I'm holding it one handed.

silloh posted:I tried using the wooden platforms to make a roof to "build shelter", but the rain still seems to be seeping through. The platforms are different from other blocks in that they don't put a back wall in. With any other block, if you build two walls and then put a connecting roof it makes a sealed room automatically. The platforms are for making bridges and balconies and such.

So rather than just using the platform, I should just use the dirt blocks or wood blocks and I should be okay?

Note that unlike Minecraft, The Blockheads recognizes floating block islands (and often destroys them). It makes chopping down giant trees hugely satisfying. Just smash out the bottom, then TIIIIIMMMMBEEEERRR. Well, "BOOM!" in any case. If you happen to destroy a placed chest this way (knock the ground out of underneath it), its contents are preserved, which should make moving house way easier.

I couldn't imagine starting over from nothing, especially not having the Fast game speed until you beat the game once (which is dumb as hell). If you use programs like iFunbox you might be able to get saves from someone so that a new game would hurt less if nothing else. e: I'm going to end up playing that drat Blockhead game because of you people talking about it. This is how I lost countless hours due to Battle Cats.

I hope it doesn't get that bad, but for me, getting to design uncrackable nuts of defensive might is fun as heck so I look at it mostly as a challenge. We'll see if I change my tune in a couple weeks when I'm getting constantly raided or whatever.
