## What is Island of Little Lives?

One day, tiny imaginary creatures washed up on a little island.
You are the god who watches over them.

Mostly, you just gaze. The creatures live by their own temperaments - gathering food, raising houses, growing from a hamlet to a town and on to a civilization, all by themselves. Time keeps flowing even while the app is closed, so each time you return the island has quietly changed. Look back on its story in the Chronicle.

Every new land is its own world and its own challenge: terrain, buildings, plants and climate all change, and so does how the island lives - what thrives, what goes wrong, and which divine power you can call upon. The further you voyage, the greater the challenge.

- Just watching feels good
Pixel-art creatures wander the island through morning and night, sun and storm. Soft pastel skies, drifting seas, gentle ambient music.

- A god's touch, now and then
Use your divine powers - lightning and typhoons to test the island, or healing light and island blessings to bless it (once per day).

- Hatch new friends
Eggs accrue on the island and let you welcome special creatures (free - no payment). Legendary creatures bless and protect your island.

- One-of-a-kind creatures through lineage
Base species mingle into endless new kinds, each with its own look and temperament. Every discovery is recorded in the Field Guide.

- Kind by design
Fully offline (no location, no network). No ads, no in-app purchases (buy once). Idle and endless - it grows at its own pace.

## Key features

- Idle creature evolution
- Dynamic island environments
- Divine powers
- Creature discovery and lineage
- Offline gameplay

### 3/5 — 画面表示

*2026-07-19*

上下のステータス画面が大きすぎて島の表示スペースが狭すぎます。プレビューと同じサイズにするやり方があるのでしょうか？iOS26.4

### 4/5 — 個人的には好きです

*2026-07-06*

ほぼ眺めてるだけですが面白いです。
ただ、ガチャの結果画面と図鑑でいきものの見た目が違う気がします。

### 3/5 — ステータスの説明くらいほしい

*2026-07-01*

眺めるだけは大いに結構なのだが、ステータスアイコンの意味すら分からないのはちょっとどうなのかなと思う。
あえて、そうしてるなら表示せずに裏で管理すれば良いと思う、、、

追記:派生種も見た目違いあるのだから(レア度の違いなのか先祖種族の割合で変わるのかは分からないが)それも全部図鑑に登録して欲しい。

### 5/5 — まったり育つ

*2026-07-01*

神としてやる事は少ないけれど、そこが良い。いきものたちが自分たちで発展していく様が楽しいです。
修正も早く、アップデートで快適にしてもらったので星5で✨

### 3/5 — ガチのホントに眺めるだけ

*2026-06-27*

説明文にもある通り、基本ホントにぼーっと眺めるだけ、です。
リアル１日に１回だけ、神の力を使い、食糧が増える雨を降らしたり、逆に災害で試練を与えることもできます。
ガチのホントに眺めるだけなので、かなり人を選ぶゲームです。
ですが、ふと見たときに家や住民が増えていたり、初めての種類が生まれていたりすると、ついニヤニヤしちゃいます。
表現も非常に簡素なので、自分自身の想像力を試されるゲームでもあります。
年代記を見て、何が起こったのか想像しながら、たまにぼーっと眺めてニヤニヤして癒される。
そんなゲームです。
