About Small Islands

Small Islands is a single-player turn-based strategy puzzle where you create small worlds from randomly generated sets of pieces, each with unique properties and scoring rules.

The game is heavily inspired by Tiny Islands by David King: https://dr-d-king.itch.io/tiny-islands

Rules:

Game objective is to build to the highest score.
Each figure has unique scoring rules, which depend on the figures and the area around and in other parts of the board.
The game alternates between phases: Figures and Shores.
In the Figures phase, select one of the two random options with figures and board regions to place the figure in. After the nine figures are placed, the Shores phase begins.
In the Shores phase, you draw the shore of an island on the water or the shore of a lake on the ground. A maximum of twenty-four shore segments can be used.
The game ends after three shores are drawn.

Old style perfect game. Mini puzzle . Very interesting concept. Like that you have to go deep into the hints to find tricks to get top scores. Can't get past 75 yet

Fun little time waster puzzle game. Dont have to deal with ads popping up all the time like most games now a days. Dont need a ton of time to sit and play. Can drop it whenever.

I already played Tiny Islands on itch.io, this version is optimized for smartphones. Simple puzzle game that challenges you to make the best out of a random set of options. Very low stakes and no leaderboards or any kind of currencies to challenge you with.

Simple and fun! Love the small changes to the look of things lately. Once you get a handle on the rules and where things can be placed it becomes wonderfully addicting and strategic! Would love to see a "Daily" draw that is the same for everyone that way I can compete with friends for a high score. Keep it up!
