Hey everyone! The response continues to be really exceptional and we're truly delighted to see so many folks enjoying the game. We have another small update ready for you all with a variety of fixes and changes. You can see the full list below: 1. Added in Cloud Saves! (In order to add an existing save to the cloud, you must load the save file, and save again. Be aware that now if you have 2 different save files on the same slot on different devices, this could overwrite them) 2. Fixed a softlock that occurs when dying while collecting an upgrade 3. Game backs up save files when successfully loading from the main menu 4. Fixed a bug that occurred when you saved and loaded on the same frame 5. Fixed a bug where dying immediately after beating a timed death match softlocks you out of receiving the upgrade 6. Water splashes now won't move through walls

7. Fixed a missing wall in Tomb Ruins 8. Speedrun timer ends at a different point by request

𝕀 𝕝𝕠𝕧𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕘𝕒𝕞𝕖 𝕤𝕠 𝕞𝕦𝕔𝕙... Islets is one of those rare indie games that feels like a warm hug wrapped inside a Metroidvania. It’s gentle, charming, and quietly ambitious. You play as Iko—an earnest, slightly awkward warrior—flying between floating islands to reconnect them and restore the world. The premise is cute, but the execution is surprisingly thoughtful. The game’s biggest strength...
