Create your island. Bring it to life.

Jellyworks is a cozy island-building game. Sculpt the land, pour the water and build little homes. As your island grows, residents sail in to make it theirs.

A small island on a block of clear water in morning light: a pink-roofed cottage on a grassy cliff with a pond and a waterfall, a stone stair down to a garden and a dock, and a round islet with a maple The same island in golden hour light The same island at blue hour, its lanterns coming on The same island at night, lanterns glowing on the water Drag across the water

Shape it

Sculpt hills, terraces and shores with soft brushes, then paint on sand, moss, grass and wildflowers.

Build it

Draw paths, walls and bridges in a single stroke, then decorate with cottages, lanterns, trees and more.

Live it

Build homes and residents arrive by boat. They settle in, keep their own little routines and ask for small things.

Pick up a tool. The island answers.

No timers, no scores and no way to get it wrong.

Push the land up into hills and terraces or scoop out a bay. Soft brushes keep every edge rounded.

Two rivers running down the island's terraces, joining in a pool and falling into a clear turquoise lake with lily pads and floating lanterns Drag across the water

Water is the foundation.

Every island starts as a bed of water. Raise land out of it, let rivers spill down as waterfalls and build your paradise on top, as big as you can imagine.

Small folk with small wishes.

Every built home brings someone new. Each resident has a personality and a wish or two, like a shady tree or the sound of falling water. Grant one and they send you postcards!

Thank you for the shade. I sit under the new apple tree every afternoon and listen to the falls.
