Time Crystals are a special feature of The Blockheads that affect a Blockhead without it having to act on them. While they can be acquired during play, they can also be obtained through an in-game purchase by the player.

Appearance

There is a time crystal counter located in an upper corner of the game's screen (upper right for the iPad, upper left for smaller devices). It reports how many time crystals are currently available. These are available per device or account, not per play world. Tapping the counter will open the primary portal's menu.

Time Crystal blocks spawn as part of a new world. The only situation where a time crystal may appear as a loose object is when deposited as part of a meditation bonus.

Where Found

As an unharvested block in a game world, time crystals are a slightly glowing cube of blue and white that looks generally crystalline. It's found underground and usually within a cave. They're best harvested with a pickaxe (producing three crystals instead of one, all of which are affected if a gemstone pickaxe is used).

Time crystals can also be created while using a gold pickaxe or spade.

Uses

Time crystals are required for portal upgrades, using a portal to warp in additional Blockheads or resources, teleport to a portal, and the one-time rush completions of crafting tasks. When used to speed crafting, each crystal saves about 20 seconds.

In-App Purchase

The videos are ads for other applications, services, or devices. There may be a queue of ads waiting, and the button will disappear when all available ads have been viewed, although more may appear later. Time crystals are awarded for each video viewed.

Notes

Time crystals are tied to the player/device, not to specific worlds. If a player changes from one world to another or even starts a new world on the same device, the total supply of time crystals stays available.

A new player/device should start with 40 time crystals.
