Robot Islands: Ocean Factory Sandbox — an honest story about a game that owns your evening

Sometimes the simplest-looking game hooks you harder than a blockbuster. This is exactly that case: the rules take a minute to learn, and putting it down is much harder.

What this game is

Robot Islands is a browser factory sandbox set on an ocean world. Mine ore, run smelters, craft components, and roll out solar arrays and battery banks to power a growing factory. Discover new islands with drones, link them with transport routes, and push production to the next tier. The economy integrates by events, so your factory keeps running while the tab is closed. Controls: wheel to zoom, drag to pan, tap to place. On phones: one finger pans, two fingers zoom. Russian and English UI.
