What players say
basically i like to turn it on and just let him do his thing while i do my thing. its cute and i like customizing his island/hats.
So... it's an idler game. It sits on the corner of your secondary monitor while you do other things, and as such I think Ropuka's Idle Island is pretty good! I'm not a connoisseur or anything (my only other experience with idler games is some hours on Cookie Clicker last year), but I enjoy that this game doesn't get to a point where you may want to use some online sheets or something.
Waiter, waiter, more chill idle games please. So happy to find another idle companion for my desktop made with passion and soul, like this one here!
