Blockheads — Play Free Online

Action & Shooting

Blockheads is a free browser action and shooting game: move with WASD, aim with the mouse, and play instantly on Doodle Jump.

Blockheads is an action and shooting game that runs directly in the browser, listed here under Poki as the developer. If you arrive from Doodle Jump, expect a different kind of session: instead of climbing a single endless column, you move around, aim with the mouse and take shots at whatever the game puts in front of you. It starts in seconds, with nothing to install and no account to create.

The appeal of this kind of game is the short loop. You get your bearings, aim, fire, and find out quickly whether your positioning was right. A round suits a few spare minutes, and a failed attempt costs very little, so trying again is the natural next step.

We do not have detailed notes on every mode or level in this build, so this page sticks to what is verified: the genre, the controls and how it fits next to the other games on the site.

How to play

Move with the arrow keys or WASD, and use the mouse to aim and to select menu options. On a phone or tablet the game takes touch input instead: tap and swipe. A keyboard and mouse is the more precise setup for aiming, so a laptop or desktop is the comfortable choice if you have one.

Begin with a few moves and shots just to see how the character responds before you take on anything serious. Since the mouse handles both aiming and menu selection, keep your hand on it and let the other hand stay on the movement keys.

Tips

Keep moving. In shooters a stationary target is the easiest one to hit, so strafe with the movement keys while you line up shots.
Aim first, then fire. Spraying without lining up a shot wastes time that you often do not have.
If aiming by touch feels loose, switch to a keyboard and mouse for more control.

Similar games on Doodle Jump

Most of the neighbours here are jumpers and platformers. Doodle Jump itself is a one-button-style climb that tests rhythm and reflexes. Helix Jump asks you to guide a bouncing ball down a rotating tower, and Ovo 2 is a precision platformer built around momentum. Blockheads is the one to pick when you want to aim and shoot rather than only time a jump.

It suits short sessions on a laptop, a Chromebook or a phone, one run at a time.
