Micro Crossing

You have a small island, a few plots of dirt, and a fishing spot at the end of the dock. That's the whole starting kit.

Each morning a visitor shows up at the market stall and asks for something: a few cabbages, a blue fish, maybe both. Bring it to them and they move in. Eight visitors move in and the island is finished. It's a short game. You can play it in a sitting or two.

What you do all day

• Plant and water crops. They grow while you sleep.
• Fish off the dock. Wait for the bite, then reel in. What's biting depends on the time of day.
• Sell extras at the stall, or hold them back for a visitor's request.
• Spend coins in the shop on new seeds and furniture. Plant a few decorations and pick them back up if you change your mind.
• Talk to the people who've moved in. They have opinions about melons and fish.

Everything you do costs a little energy. When it runs low, the light fades and the island gets dark, and it's time to sleep. Weather changes from day to day. In the evening the villagers wander off to find a seat.

About

 I built it as a small, cozy thing to play for twenty minutes at a time, not a game that wants your whole weekend.
