About the Game

The Islander is a fast building/farming game set somewhere in an exotic Polynesia. Plant crops, bushes and trees, build livestock pens, but don’t forget to make it look classy by adding various decorations.

Start from the scratch and design your own island or let the game randomly generate one for you.

Harvest your crops, get money, and expand your farm island; and if you ever get tired just call your trusty cocobot assistants to help you collect your goods.

Earn experience points increase your level and unlock new plants, animals and decorations.

The Islander is not a game that requires fast fingers or sharp reflexes, it’s a game designed to ease your mind and soul. So relax, take your time and build a farm island of your dreams.

Once you are done save your farm and start over with fresh ideas.
