Island Expander

Island Expander is a cozy crafting game where you turn a tiny island into a real paradise. You start with the smallest patch of land in the middle of the ocean and slowly grow it into something big. Collect resources, discover new recipes, craft items from simple to complex, and watch your island expand with every step. The pixel art looks great, with lots of detail on small objects, and it is not a Minecraft clone. As a simulator, it is easy to get into, and you do not need to spend a lot of time on it to feel progress. The day-and-night cycle adds atmosphere, and the gameplay feels relaxing and meditative. There are over 30 recipes to discover and craft; you expand the island cell by cell, and the overall mood is one of calm and steady progress.

How to play?

At the start of Island Expander, you already have several tools and weapons: a pickaxe, an axe, a shovel, and a scythe. Use them to chop down trees and gather basic resources like wood and grass. Spend these resources to unlock new parts of the island. On some tiles, you can open up workbenches for crafting, where you create new items from what you have already collected. You also get daily rewards in the form of coins and different potions. All items and resources are stored in your inventory, and you have a flashlight for exploring at night. The island grows quickly, and the graphics stay pleasing as it expands. When you build a lighthouse, your coin income doubles. You can also craft certain resources that are hard to get otherwise. Collect resources, craft items, and gradually expand your island, earning more and more resources to push your borders even farther.
