1.0 coming out just two weeks ago that Pocketpair handles other games as well. The latest indie project to emerge from the publisher is an island-builder that looks both incredibly clever and like it'll completely absorb all your time given half a chance.

The game in question is known as Clicky Islands, it's got an easy, pixelated aesthetic, and it comes from a pair of Polish developers known as Karrot Games. Pocketpair shares a new look at the release, which merges town management, clicker mechanics and the satisfaction of watching your creation gradually become autonomous.

"It's a really fun mix of clicker, incremental, automation and town building!" John 'Bucky' Buckley, head of communications and publishing at Pocketpair,

He would say that, but he also points towards a new demo on Steam on the back of Pocketpair distributing the game, and I can tell you, there's definitely something here. Even after just a few minutes of playing, I could feel myself getting sucked in, which is a good sign for anything.

My first impressions were brief, but I'm immediately taken by just how quickly Clicky Islands gets you moving. The early game of city builders can be a little slow, as you're guided through all the menus and mechanics, but this is much more about just, well, clicking around and seeing how you go. The use of Factorio-type automation for how your civilization operates makes it immensely satisfying.

The clicker elements push you to make quick decisions too. I eagerly await more, and the full version is set for this year at some point.
