Pocket Isle: Cozy Town Builder

A fisherman stands with a bucket on a tiny island in a warm ocean. Tap a fish shadow under the water and it jumps straight into his hands. Chop wood from the palm tree, buy a fishing rod, build a cottage and a barn. Light a bonfire, and neighbors will drift in on rafts, drawn by the flames. Give each of them a job: one chops wood, another smokes fish, a third runs the store. Quests, chapter by chapter, show you what to do next, from your first fish to a town of your own. Sow a field, gather the sheaves and bake bread, then put it on the store shelf. While the field and the bakery are small, they need your taps to work. Once upgraded, a farmer and a baker take them over. Each item has its own storage, and you can see how much of each you have stocked. The island lives on without you. The rod keeps fishing while the game is closed, and when you come back, the waves bring a bottle with news and a gift. Sometimes the bottle holds a letter from the game's author. You can call a big trading ship to the island: it arrives with a large order and pays double. By the food bowl on the shore you can tame a cat: feed it fish and it will make the island its home. In the fall the island's grass turns russet, in winter snow covers the roofs, in spring everything blooms. Every season and every kind of weather has its own fish, and each new one goes into the album as a card with stars. And when the calendar says so, holidays come to the island: Golden Fish Week and New Year Island. No ads, no in-app purchases, no internet needed.
