About the Game

Games are too stressful ... so I made one that literally plays itself

You stand on a small island, surrounded by water. Click the water to collect fish, then spend them to place penguins, bears, and fashionable penguins who help you gather even more fish. Unlock new islands over time and watch your peaceful little world grow at a gentle pace.

Autoplay mode: Play actively or enable autoplay, a fully idle mode where the game optimizes progress and plays on its own (till 100%). Perfect for relaxing, multitasking, or simply watching your world grow.

Multitasking: The game is designed to be unobtrusive. On PC, you can play in overlay mode, which allows the game to sit comfortably in a corner of your screen wherever you want it, on top of other windows, while you work or relax.

Xbox controller support: The entire game can be played using a mouse or an Xbox controller.

Trophy hunters: The game is perfect for fans of idle games and trophy hunters, and takes about 15 hours for 100% achievements.
