Vulture Island

About this game

Vulture Island is a platform adventure with a distinct focus on exploration to tickle your curiosity.

Rather than stacking up high scores and running towards the end of each level, you get to roam freely in an open world and explore caves, swamps, temples, pirate ships and more.

You collect objects along your way, solve puzzles and talk to NPCs, all while being wrapped inside the platform gameplay mechanism we all have to come to love since the golden era of 8-bit computers and consoles.

Vulture Island has been awarded the Pocket Gamer Gold Award.

THE PLOT

Benjamin has built a spectacular flying machine to take him and his friends around the world.
During one of the first flight sessions something goes wrong. The youngsters have no choice but to parachute themselves to safety.

After an exhausting swim Alex, Paul and Stella end up on a distant island. Barehanded and with no trace of Benjamin.

Ratings and reviews

A strange n short experience but still fun and worth the price. Pretty comical story, but what's weird was gameplay structure, didn't know where to start as you can go anywhere and choose anyone, but eventually you'll get the hang of it and feels like a open ended platforming fetch quest and that's not a criticism, it was actually a great way of doing it. A couple puzzles were confusing and got lost on what to do sometimes for longer than should'a but another great Donut 🍩 games um uh... game!?

This game is phenomenal! Don't let the simple art style fool you. This is a solid metroidvania style platforming game with interconnected stages and items that will have you backtracking and revealing previously inaccessible areas and items that helps you progress further into the game. All in all this is a worthy successor to traps and gemstones from the same company. I got these 2 games together yesterday and my money couldn't have been put anywhere better than these 2 masterpieces! ❤️❤️

Can't tell how good this game is, oozes retro platformer, but not only in a nostalgic way, the simple controls works perfect without external joypad, the dialogue is well-written and has lots of humour, the game is open-world and challenging without being frustrating when some patience is added. Throwback to Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap.

What's new

- Improved stability: fixed a crash bug
- Improved joypad support
