About Isle & Idle

Build a small island from forests, villages, wheat fields, flowers, lakes and meadows. Choose a piece, rotate it, and leave enough room for the next landscape. Terrain colours do not affect the rules.

Complete a line horizontally or along either diagonal to clear it. Clear several lines in one move for a bigger bonus, or keep a clearing streak going. There is no countdown.

Name your island and switch between morning light and dusk. When you like the view, turn your actual island, name and score into a downloadable 1600 × 1100 PNG postcard. A local album holds up to eight snapshots.

The first visit includes a separate practice island. Progress, your best score, island name and collected postcards stay in this browser. The game interface is currently in Chinese.
