Tiny Atolls

Awesome game with some interesting features, while it has some similarities to games of this genre like Dorfromantik. Tiny Atolls has some mechanics that set it in a league of its own. If you like games like this then Tiny Atolls is definitely worth it.

There are just too many flaws here to recommend, especially since it seems basically abandoned by the devs. In just about 3 hours of game time, I experienced a ton of glitches, ranging from annoying to game-breaking. Entire islands that I unlocked did not actually spawn on the map after the cutscene. Phantom quests sometimes hovered over tiles for no discernable reason. Multi-tiled building sometimes just... don't work when placed. Compared to other games in this genre, the scoring and progression also just feel more obtuse than they have any reason to be. The unlock screen especially goes for a textless, Ikea manual-like presentation that does it zero favors in my opinion. It's the type of thing that could certainly be ironed out over time - but again, this seems like an eternal Early Access situation. A shame.
