About
Waveling Island is a creature-collecting simulator that takes place on a beautiful, hand-drawn pixelart island packed full of mysterious creatures called Wavelings.

As you head out into the wilds with your Waveling gang at your side you’ll find new creatures, level up, and haul back materials that can help you craft this vast lot of sand into the paradise of your dreams.
Catch them anywhere! Wavelings roam the island freely, and battles happen right where you find them. No random encounters, no separate battle screen. Walk up and fight.
Build the island you want. Gather materials, craft what you need, and turn a bare stretch of sand into somewhere worth living. Head into the wilds with your team, come home with what you find, and make the place your own.
New Islanders. The islanders have quests for you, secrets to share, and stories of their own. Underneath it all, an island that’s hiding something.
