nice game :)
What a cute game! It's very hard to balance what everyone wants making the game quite entertaining. The only problem I found is that the IU is hard to see. I would suggest increasing the frame size in itchio. photo_2021-10-05_12-13-57.jpg
A cool premiseand overall fun game. Well done
Fun game concept, but i was overwhelmed by the choices and information, so i did not really know what todo. Maybe slow down the learning curve a bit Like the art and the music :) Good Job :)
Interesting game, I like that the cards are a limited resource and you've got to think carefully on how you want to use them.
You really need to get those advisor positions that give extra cards filled as soon as you can. I didn't realise that the advisor bonuses were different for each slot at first and ran out of cards quickly.
It takes a few moments to get used to all the rules and figure out how everything works, but once you do it's pretty fun. I like the idea of having to balance happiness of all factions, and citizen requests are a great mechanic. One thing I'd like to see added is the ability to speed up time - quite often I found myself without any cards to play and I had to wait until the timer ticked to the next month. All in all, it's a fun entry, well done!
Good game! Nice job!
I love resource managing games and that's not easy to do in a weekend. So congratulations! I had a lot of fun playing it! I just read the beggining of the second year after three tries but it's great! There are only two things: on the web version, if you play in small size is confusing with the background image and if you play in maximum it does not get to the maximum size of the screen. I think it must be more clear under what conditions the volcanoes explodes.
@all Many thanks for your feedback! :)
@Anonymous: You can play the game in fullscreen mode by clicking the blue button in the lower right corner. The UI doesn't work that well with the small embedded itch.io viewport (which can't be enlarged any further apparently), so it's recommended to either press the fullscreen button or play the downloadable Windows version.
@Biku: Have you tried the blue fullscreen button? That should maximize the game properly. There was another fullscreen button before placed by itch.io which should be gone now. Sorry for the confusion! :)
The volcano wants everybody to be happy, so it's becoming more and more unstable while large parts of the population are unhappy. It can only be soothed by sacrifing someone or by getting a "+ Volcano stability" effect in a request event.
@future-labs-unlimited Yes. I tried that button but the game stay at the top left. Bigger than when its not full-screen but no getting the full size of the screen.
Yeah hahaha. I think I got that one after dying two times. I had great fun :)
I loved the concept. The island didn't last long under my care. I like how they were milling around, and the music changed, as things got worse. I couldn't find the delay card. What'd be cool detail if they all had random names.
@Biku Strange, maybe it depends on the browser? Happy you enjoyed the game despite the UI probably getting in the way half of the time. :D
@fromthechasm The delay cards are quite rare and you don't have any in your starting deck. There's a good chance you'll get some when more people enter the island and you receive new cards. Thanks for playing! :)
Took me 10 days to entirely destroy the island. And I'm proud of it
Really interesting games! I liked the little bits of story along with the resource management! I made it quite a few months, but I found it kind of annoying that there were so few cards. Often I was forced into making a certain decision because I only had an up or a down card. I think a feeewww more cards would be nice to allow a little more player expression.
Good simulation game! Its very hard mantain the hapinness of the 4 tribes, but is cool that every tribe makes something different! Loved this game :)
I usually don't play card games, but this was a fun game to play. Great Job!
Amusing game, but very difficult. It was also hard to tell exactly what was making the volcano mad. I also felt like I wasn't getting enough cards to deal with all the issues I was running into. Besides that, I had fun!
Well done!
the game is cute, but i couldn't play because the layout is broken when i see some request, i don't see where to click to accept or refuse.
Thanks to everyone for playing and commenting! :)
@lucas-thomaz You don't have to click a button but to drag a card (either accept, decline or delay) into the card slot that should be shown at the bottom of the menu. If the slot is hidden by another element you are probably playing at a low resolution. Unfortunately we didn't have the time to properly adjust our GUI to different resolutions, so it's recommended to play in fullscreen mode at the highest resolution possible.
Fantastic unique art style with engaging background music. I really felt the art and sound set a nice tone for the game. The mechanics took a bit to get used too but worked really well.
So I didn't understand how to delay the requests and kept trying to feed cards as best as possible. Unfortunately my rabbits died pretty quick and I didn't manage to get them back to the island. Which in turn led to the eruption :) I liked sound design of the game, embient sound is not good, each action is supported by some kind of sound which makes interaction pleasant Unstability of card deck highlights jam's theme. Good idea, I like it
really nice ,the art style of island is very cute.
Suprisingly complex and fun game. Really liked the art style and music as well, great job!
Super interesting design here.
The art is cute, and I love the little touches like the audio pitching down as things go south.
Nice work!
Nice game of strategy, but I always ran out of cards
Hi man, I cannot give you rating because of the bug. I cannot play properly because I don't see anything :( Pls bugfix this so I can rate your game.

I really like the idea. Pretty cool game :D
Many thanks for playing and commenting to all of you! :)
@ryjcio The game doesn't work that well in the small itch.io viewport. You can enter fullscreen mode by clicking the blue button in the lower right corner (or by downloading the Windows version).
Amazing game! The art & music are awesome. It's complicated to begin with. Makes sense as you play through though. I loved the music speeding up & slowing down as well as the animation as the volcano erupts :smile: great entry!
interesting concept. it's funny that the music will change pitch and speed when you do some actions.
