Hey ISLANDERS fans!

We are pleased to tell you that ISLANDERS: Mobile is now available on iOS & Android. To find it just search for 'ISLANDERS: Mobile', we can't wait to see the tiny island getaways you make in your pockets.
Watch on YouTube
ISLANDERS: Mobile is the same game you love, but now perfect for that commute, trip or just tucked up in bed. It looks and plays just as it does on PC.
We’ve also added intuitive touch controls, plus Game Centre and Google Play integration for leader boards and achievements so you can still flex those city-planning skills wherever you go.
Here’s a little of what you can look forward to:
Two Modes - High Score & Sandbox, both with separate saves.
7 Island Properties and 50 Dynamic Generators for endless variety.
“Boons” tactical one-time power-ups for clever play.
Photo Mode with filters and a rotating camera to capture your prettiest islands.
75 minutes of original, calming music.
Twitch integration for interactive streams!

Whether you’re a returning builder or setting foot on your first island, this is the perfect way to unwind anywhere, anytime.

Hey ISLANDERS friends, we’ve got something special to share…
We’re incredibly excited (and honestly, a bit emotional!) to finally let you know that the next step in the ISLANDERS journey is here! 🏝️
ISLANDERS: New Shores is part of Steam’s City Builder & Colony Sim Fest, and we’ve released a DEMO that’s live for a limited time. This is your first chance to get hands-on with the game, and as long-time fans, we’d absolutely love for you to be among the first to try it out.
🌋We’ve taken everything that made the original ISLANDERS special and expanded on it - gently and carefully, like one of your best building placements. Whether you're a high-score chaser or someone who just loves zoning out and building something beautiful, there’s so much here for you to explore.
Just some of what’s new in ISLANDERS: New Shores:

New Islands - Explore majestic new island types. Volcanic peaks in the “Lava” islands, or the tranquil beauty of the “Fantasy” islands.
Photo Mode - Capture and share your stunning island creations with customisable filters and a turntable camera.
Expanded Soundtrack - Enjoy 75 minutes of original music that sets the perfect mood for your building adventures.
Dynamic Scoring Systems - Master innovative scoring methods - such as line of sight, distance bonuses, and inter-island strategies - to enhance your gameplay.
Boons - Unlock single-use power-ups that give you unique tactical advantages as you progress.
Twitch Integration - Streamers can now engage their audiences directly with interactive features built into the game.
We Want Your Feedback!
As the OG fans of ISLANDERS, we would love to know your thoughts and feedback on how we can make ISLANDERS: New Shores even better. Let us know what you enjoyed & what could be improved from the demo, by filling out our short survey here:
