Islanders is a cute minimalist city building game with a great art style and a simple gameplay loop. First you randomly generate a colorful low poly island and then you place various buildings on the land given to try and reach a score that takes you to the next randomly generated island. You keep going until you can't score past that point threshold any more.

The depth comes from how each building interacts with each other. Some deduct points if they are placed near an identical building, some require supplemental buildings to rack up a good score like the seaweed farm. And depending on the island you generate certain buildings will be more useful than others. That said there's no real urgency. You take your time and find the best spot for points or even the best looking spot for the building. There's a sandbox mode too if you don't want to mess with score and just want to build a pretty island. Package all that together with some nice chill music and you have a comfy coffee game that'll keep you playing well after you've finished said coffee!

I've enjoyed the vibe of this game so much that I've 100%'d it and I don't do that very often. I still boot this one up every now and again to see how high I can get my score while making an aesthetically pleasing island. Highly recommended if you want a chill minimalist town builder!
