Funny (and fake) 1.6 rumors!

As you can probably guess, people are pretty hyped about the upcoming 1.6 update, and in the midst of all the hype, some people decide to make some rumors. Some are good, some are bad. Some are just completely stupid. Here's a few of my favourites from The Blockheads Forums that you can troll your friends with ;)
Please note: None of these rumors have been verified or confirmed. Please don't believe them.

  • Zombies - By Joe
1.6 will be known as the zombie update. Starting in the more temperate zones, they will be attracted to living Blockheads. If bitten, your blockhead will become an autonomous zombie, and be remove from the players que.
As time goes on, zombies in the temperate zones will become bloated due to heat, and gain the ability to cross oceans. They will also develop a form of hive consciousness, due to their common goals. They will begin to travel in large hoards. Eventually, they will develop a resistance to cold.
There will be a cure for this necrosis, but the ingredients will include arcane items that are hard to find. Crafting the cure will take a fair amount of time, and will develop only two doses. If a blockhead is successful in administering the antidote, and has a slot available, he/she will gain a random blockhead who is then immune to the disease. The cure will not be available at Trade Portals.


  • Paintable Everything! - By me (adapted from 'Paintable Donkeys')
One of the new features in 1.6 will be the ability to paint anything and everything! Using the new Spray can (1 Paint bucket, 1 Aerosol), you will be able to paint all things in the game. From Mobs to Moons, South Poles to Suns, EVERYTHING IS PAINTABLE!!! Even the GUI can be painted to add your own touch of customization.

  • Griller 3000! (to grill cats...) - By Skye23456

That's all I've got for now, so go and have some fun with them :P




...Did you think I forgot the bacon?

BREAKING: 1.6 coming soon, awaiting approval...

BREAKING: MajicDave posted on his Twitter last night that update 1.6 could be just around the corner!





Essentially, Dave's now just waiting for the App store to approve it, and for Noodlecake to port it to Android for the Androiders out there. According to beta testers, Noodlecake has finished porting to Android and now they're beta testing the Android version, which Erick says takes about "2-4 weeks".

1.6 is coming soon! Get ready, folks!

The world anxiously awaits 1.6

The world continues to hold their breath as 1.6 may be coming out any day now...

According to beta testers on the forums, beta testing is in full swing. A Touch arcade article from two weeks ago said that 1.6 should be in just a few weeks, which should be any day now.

Rumours continue to float around the forums.

Pancakes! Llamas! Planes! All these fun rumours...1.6 is coming, and it might be coming very soon!

1.6 Feature Spotlight: Clouds!

@TouchArcade shows a new feature!

Firstly, congratulations to anyone who spotted clouds back in Dave's tweet a day or two ago! There was no official announcement so we didn't write a story, in case it wasn't meant to be tweeted and would be removed. 

Look Really Closely...see them?


It was more official when TouchArcade and Dave made an article about the iPhone 6 screen resolution which showed, clear as day, clouds!

They look amazing! 

It got officially official when a twitter user asked 'will clouds be for all devices?'. Dave said yes which means you will be enjoying clouds. But when?

That's the final exciting part of this article: TouchArcade claims that the update will be out in a few weeks!!

So what's everyone's opinion on clouds?
