This has a weird name. Does anyone have a better one? --Abcboy (talk) 17:03, 12 April 2013 (MDT)

How it works

I was able to use two iPads (a 1 and the latest (5?) with retina), both using my Game Center login, and accessed a world on the newer iPad. They have the same version of The Blockheads but not the same iOS. My next tests will be with an iPhone 5 (not up to iOS7 yet) and if I can use a portal chest to move stuff from one device to another. --McClaw (talk) 10:52, 20 October 2013 (MDT)

You can use portal chests. However, it's somewhat complicated. Also, this was local network? It's like a server- the game cares about the other game's version only. --Abcboy (talk) 10:56, 20 October 2013 (MDT)
It was local network, both using the same wireless router. So it's only going through Game Center multiplayer that the iOS must match? Or is that a misstatement? I suppose I should try accessing a world on the older device, too. --McClaw (talk) 11:00, 20 October 2013 (MDT)
Yes, only through GC. Game Center doesn't like other iOS's. --Abcboy (talk) 11:07, 20 October 2013 (MDT)
