Majic Jungle’s Minecraft (and Terraria)-inspired sandbox crafting game The Blockheads has slowly and steadily been picking up steam since it hit the App Store in January. After recently falling deep down the Blockhead rabbit hole myself, crafting increasingly elaborate castles and underground lairs, I decided to get some tips and tricks directly from developer David Frampton.
