Time Crystal

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 to buying more time crystals.

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, and one-time rush completions of crafting tasks.

Notes

Time crystals are tied to the player/device, not to specific worlds. If you change from one world to another, your supply of time crystals moves stays with you.
