The Blockheads

The Blockheads is a two-dimensional exploration, building, crafting, and survival sandbox game. It was created by David 'MajicDave' Frampton, an indie developer and owner of Majic Jungle Software. The game is set in a procedurally-generated world, where in the player controls avatars called blockheads; that can destroy or create blocks, collect or craft material resources, or form exotic structures. There are also a variety of biomes, such as: equators, poles, oceans, mountain ranges, deserts, and vast underground cave networks using a wide range of resources.

Estimates, not counts — nobody publishes real player numbers for mobile games, so these are modelled from public signals. How we work them out

Player estimates

Nobody publishes how many people play The Blockheads, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on App Store. Each count stands in a roughly known ratio to a population — one Play rating per ~45 players, one Steam review per ~35 owners — and the estimates below combine those readings, weighted by how much each source can be trusted to speak for the whole game. Read the range as the answer and the headline as its middle.

No source reports a live count for this game, so this is a share of the total player base — a genre assumption rather than an observation, which is why the range is wide.

Frequently asked questions

How many people play The Blockheads?

We estimate that about 550,000 people have played The Blockheads — plausibly between 280K and 1.1M. Around 28,000 of them play on a given day, in a range of 2.8K and 170K. Both figures are modelled from public counts on App Store rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.

Is The Blockheads still active?

Yes. The Blockheads is holding steady — it measured within a percent of where it was a week ago. We recheck every source daily, and the charts on this page show each platform's readings over time.

How are the The Blockheads player estimates worked out?

Nobody publishes player counts for mobile games, so we infer them. Each public count we can read is converted into a population using a documented ratio — roughly one Google Play rating per 45 people who played, one Steam review per 35 owners, one Discord member per 40 players — and the live counts (Steam concurrents, members online, Twitch viewers) are converted the same way into a daily figure. Those separate estimates are then averaged in proportion to how much each source can be trusted, which is why sources that disagree widen the published range instead of cancelling out. This page is built on 2 readings taken since August 8, 2026.
