## What is Puzzle Pelago?

From a felled tree to a comfy chair lots of steps are necessary in between. But there is not much room on these islands - where do all the buildings go? Not to mention the roads in-between - the stubborn islander's can't stand crossings, because they keep running into each other!

Enjoy a mind-boggling new game that takes concepts from economy simulation games and turns them into a puzzle, all in a relaxed and sea-breeze filled atmosphere.

Simple Mechanics, Complex Puzzles
* Drag & Drop: From a forest you drag a lumber jack to produce logs, and from a lumber jack you drag a saw mill to produce planks
* Combine: Make iron by combining coal and ore, or furniture by combining tools and planks!

There are ...

### 1/5 — Needs a Mouse?

*2026-03-06*

Was struggling long enough to just look up the solution online, and the solution is just plain does not work/contains impossible moves on my phone. Guessing it may play better on PC, 100% not worth it as a phone game tho

### 5/5 — Fab wee game

*2022-08-14, version 1.1.0*

I really loved this game. Can’t wait for more levels!

### 5/5 — Fun Puzzler

*2022-06-01*

This game is fun. The puzzles are challenging without being impossible. It gave me a sense of accomplishment when I solved the most difficult challenges. The little fireworks that occur and the word “Success” that pops up had me celebrating along with the little towns. Also the graphics are cute and the music is pleasant. Hoping the developers update with more puzzles. I’m a fan. 🥰

### 5/5 — Unique puzzle game

*2022-04-23*

It took me a bit to get used to the rules. It’s not very intuitive, but once you understand how it works it’s a pretty fun game. Even though there is no a whole lot of various combinations, it can be easy to get confused on how to make stuff. Clicking the houses to see the steps really helped. Hope to see more levels in the future!

### 5/5 — Anno 1602 as a puzzle

*2022-01-24, version 1.1.0*

Fun little puzzle game, that reminds me of the commodity cycles found in city builders like Anno 1602. The levels are short and manageable even for people that are not that into puzzle games.

### 5/5 — лучшая головоломка

*2022-01-23*

слов нет, насколько она приятная и насколько местами сложная, а разгадка и осваивание механик, это просто наслаждение, покупайте не задумывайтесь.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2022-01-22*

I really like the progression of the chapters. This game is very well laid out and I’m enjoying the brain teasers!

### 4/5 — Minimalistisch

*2022-01-21, version 1.1.0*

Und suchterzeugend. Die Möglichkeit auf mehreren Geräten einen Spielstand zu haben wäre noch nice 🙃

### 1/5 — Please reconsider some design

*2022-01-20*

The pattern in the introduction panel is a rising sun flag from the time when Japan, a war criminal country, ruled Southeast Asia illegally. It's like a Nazi flag in Europe to Asian.

**Developer response:** Hi Eugene, thank you for the feedback! I was not aware of that, sorry if that looks offensive. When i find the time for the next update I will revise this.

### 5/5 — Just started

*2022-01-20, version 1.1.0*

Finished two chapters - nice design and good puzzles. I really do like the design though.
