Minecraft has certainly had a massive influence on the gaming scene. You almost can't move nowadays for games that hurl you into a world and let you manipulate, build, and destroy as you see fit.
The Blockheads takes that simple template and presents it as a 2D platformer. Here's your flat, blocky world, it says - now carve out your own space in it.
This is a game with exploration and innovation at its core, which dares you to pack up your flickering campfire and head out to see what's over the next rise.

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