About Paws & Pawns
Rabbits hop like knights. Foxes slide like bishops. Hedgehogs roll like rooks. Every animal on the island moves like a chess piece, and every one of them wants to get home. Pocket Isles is a cozy chess puzzle game set on tiny toy islands. Plan a few moves ahead, watch each animal click into its home, and enjoy the waves, the gulls and the soft music while you think. You don't need to know chess: each new animal shows you exactly how it moves. WHAT'S INSIDE • 72 hand-made logic puzzles across 6 island worlds: Meadow, Harbour, Orchard, Fjord, Lagoon and Canal • 7 animals, each with its own chess-style move: rabbit, fox, hedgehog, cat, owl, frog and duckling • New twists as you travel: slippery ice, frogs that leap, ducklings that only waddle forward • Beat each island's par to earn up to 3 stars • Undo a move or restart an island whenever you like • Stuck? Tap for a hint that shows the next move • Morning, afternoon and evening light on every island • Game Center leaderboards • Relaxing music and gentle sound, with separate on/off switches • Plays offline, so it works on a plane, a train or anywhere without Wi-Fi • iPhone and iPad, portrait and landscape NO ADS. EVER. No banners, no videos and no pop-ups between islands. Pocket Isles is a calm puzzle game made to be enjoyed. PRICING Pocket Isles is free to download, and the whole first world (12 islands) is free to play. Optional in-app purchases: • Unlock All Islands, $4.99, one-time: opens the other 60 islands in worlds 2 to 6, and undos and hints never cost acorns again • Unlimited Undo, $4.99, one-time: undos never cost acorns • Acorns, the in-game currency used for extra undos and hints: 15 for $0.99, 60 for $2.99, 120 for $4.99. You also earn acorns by playing. • Tip jar: A Treat for the Animals ($1.99) and A Picnic for Everyone ($4.99) are thank-you tips that support a tiny indie studio. They don't unlock anything. Every island gets 3 free undos, and restarting is always free. One-time purchases can be restored on any of your devices with Restore Purchases in Settings.
