Indie Intermission – ‘Sky Island’ Monochrome Misadventure

Yet another week flies by and with it my selection of free games.

Yet another week flies by and with it my selection of free games. Being so close to the weekend now I’m sure everyone is digging deep to just keep going until they clock off later on today, so I hope Sky Island from Toaster Games will help you get over this final hurdle.

Sky Island is an interesting retro explorative platformer in which you must navigate around the perils of this island in the sky to find all of the cores in order to complete your mission objective.

Sky Island was created for the GBJam and therefore carries the classic Game Boy aesthetic which I find quite endearing, mostly being a huge fan of the Game Boy .

The game itself is quite standard offering a difficult but largely run of the mill platformer in which you must make seemingly impossible jumps – but I was never that good at platformers anyway.

Average play time – 10 minutes

Sky Island is a fun little platformer which has been created in a great retro style that captures the Game Boy style perfectly. Although this monochrome design will not be popular with everyone anyone from the Game Boy era should have a blast here.
