  • Gathering
  • Exploration
  • Pixel art

A 2D adventure about non-stop gathering: you mine rocks and fell trees, refine and craft, buy new islands with your gold, unlock skills on a large grid and head into dungeons with puzzles and bosses, until almost everything is automated.

Why play it now

When you fancy a simple, moreish loop of mining, crafting and unlocking, with no story at all to follow.

Who it's for

For anyone who enjoys the constant progress of idle games but likes always having something to do.

When not to pick it

If routine wears you out: reviews find it repetitive and short on substance once the hook fades.
