Islets (Windows game) is a charming indie metroidvania‑style action adventure developed by Kyle Thompson and published by Armor Games Studios. You play as Iko, a hopeful warrior mouse exploring a world of floating islands, aiming to reconnect them by reigniting their magnetic cores and uncovering the mystery behind the world’s fragmentation. The game blends platforming, combat, and exploration with a heartfelt tone and a cast of memorable characters you befriend along the way.
Players travel from island to island using a rickety airship, unlocking new areas and abilities as they progress, fighting enemies like sky pirates and monstrous creatures in boss battles. The world is hand‑painted with vibrant visuals, making exploration rewarding and visually engaging. Metroidvania staples such as backtracking, secret areas, and upgrades are core to progression, and the game is generally well‑received for its approachable pacing, wholesome story elements, and polished design.
