About One More Island
The Queen of the Old World calls upon you! As Her Majesty's domain expands, we require a capable administrator to guide Her latest colonies to prosperity. We will provide you with ships, colonists, and other tools necessary to tame these wild, virgin lands, and turn them into a prosperous colonial enterprise, all under the Queen's watchful eye.
Naturally, the Crown will expect you to share the bounty of these new lands, pay your taxes on time, and continue expanding the boundaries of Her Majesty’s colonial possessions. Obedience may earn you rewards,but refusing to pay your dues or worse, declaring independence, will have dire consequences.
So, governor. Are you ready to colonize One More Island?
You are called upon to explore the frontiers of Her Majesty’s colonial empire, claim territory, then exploit it to its fullest to gain riches for the throne!
- Set sail for the New World to plant Her flag and establish a new colony - as well as ensuring it thrives.
- Each exploration is never the same, thanks to a world map generated dynamically from a combination of hand-crafted map elements.
- Customize the challenge to your tastes, adjusting island size, land fertility, amount of natural resources and more, to make it as easy or as hard as desired.
- Construct the buildings you want: The freeform building designer allows fine-tuning workshop placement and colonist’s paths to optimize the holy colony plan.
- Look after the colonists' needs. Happy colonists work harder and faster, growing your, err, Her Majesty's colonial empire.
- Harness this legendary colony and these dedicated colonists to create production chains, producing necessary goods on the spot and growing the community.
- Build a new fleet to explore the archipelago, claim new islands for your domain, then link them together with overseas trade routes.
- Optimize your production chains and increase their complexity to create entire industries independent of the Old World.
- Research new ways to develop your fledgling colony into a New World superpower. Each civilization tier brings with it new challenges, new requirements - and new opportunities.
- Manage your reputation at the royal court. Pay your taxes on time and meet their expectations or...
- Do you dare to commit the unthinkable? Do you dare to disobey the monarch?
- Do you dare try to form a new nation, breaking free of Old World tyranny?

Players praise One More Island's charming pixel-art aesthetic, cosy atmosphere, and refreshing zoning-based building mechanics, but criticize it for lacking depth in worker management and colony simulation features—treating inhabitants as mere resources rather than characters with meaningful needs and interactions. Common complaints include unclear game logic (like indoor windmills), small unreadable text without scaling options, and an overall sense that the game feels incomplete and more like a factory sim than a true colony builder, with some players finding the progression tedious compared
I love the concept of this game, like I do most management / colony sim games. The zoning and buildings required approach is refreshing and interesting, and the graphics are cosy as heck. But it's not a colony sim. There's no housing for your workers, no real needs that they have aside from "buying" them with bread and then putting them on a workspace. No further interactions, no personalities, they're just resources. That makes this more of a factory sim than a colony sim. The zoning thing isn't logical / obvious all the time, for example, a windmill has to be put indoors? There's still some work to do on the entire thing, as it doesn't feel ready to be a full release.1 found this helpful
One More Island is a cheerful, colony-building simulation that starts with a promising blend of exploration, production management, and light narrative humor before gradually revealing both its strengths and its structural constraints. Developed by Berg Games and published by indie.io, it places you in the role of a colonial governor sent by the Queen to develop a chain of newly charted islands. From the outset, the tone is breezy and colorful. The pixel-art world is bright, the interface is clean, and the early progression feels intuitive as you establish a dock, harvest the first resources, and watch your settlement take shape. It gives the impression of a relaxed, approachable city builder—one that encourages experimentation rather than overwhelming you with information. The first several hours highlight what the game does well. The tutorial is surprisingly polished for an indie title and does a commendable job teaching the fundamentals of gathering resources, setting up production chains, and expanding across the archipelago. Each island you settle serves as a compact puzzle: what resources are available here, what buildings fit the terrain, and how will this island connect to…1 found this helpful
So, the negative reviews got me wondering how the game really is. It's great to know that when the civs are starving, it's not actually food related but other needs. IE Clothing, lol I didn't know that was food. Gotta keep a surplus of everything more or less to maintain a tier. Not as casual as I'd like as I prefer to forget things and it doesn't keep you on your toes in the sense of being attacked, but the random events.1 found this helpful
the longer i play, i feel more like rim world. when the research table and the room come along, everything lead me back to want to play rimworld, cool game, but i can't get to the rest and i want to close it already.
fun little city builder
I can't read anything. I'll admit I'm a couple of years due for new glasses, but the fact that there's no adjustment for text size is kind of a crime. Even the UI toggle is already set to max by default.
