A game so full of charm, love and passion that you can’t help but sink into it. I played through it in 10 hours and had a great time the whole time. Fantastic work by the developer. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Don’t be fooled by the cute graphics – Islets is a full-on Metroidvania that can really kick your butt, especially on the hardest difficulty level. It contains a little too many bullet hell elements for my liking, but I still had a lot of fun with it. It was a pleasure to get all the achievements.

This game is great. I was looking for a game like Hollow Knight, but this one is much lighter and easier to play. The story is great too!
