More about this game
In Island Explorer: The Great Escape, your goal is to repair a shipwrecked boat and leave the island. You must gather wood, stone, food, and metal by tapping on trees, rocks, bushes, and ore. Managing your hunger, thirst, and energy is critical; your food decays at a rate of 1.15 and water at 1.35. If your food or water reaches zero, the run ends. Crafting an axe and a pickaxe allows you to harvest tougher materials needed to complete the 4 boat repairs.
Tips
- Always monitor your food and water meters because they decay constantly. Gathering any resource costs 5 stamina, so avoid working when exhausted.
- Eating food restores 11 hunger and 8 stamina, while gathering wood reduces your thirst by 1.5. Balance these actions to stay alive.
- Craft the axe as soon as you have 2 wood and 2 stone. This unlocks stone gathering, which is required for the pickaxe.
Questions
How do I get metal to repair the boat?
You need to craft a pickaxe first, which requires an axe, 2 wood, and 3 stone. Once you have the pickaxe, tap the blue ore vein to gather 1 metal.
Why can't I gather from a resource again?
Resources have a cooldown period after you gather from them. Food takes exactly 3 seconds to recover, while wood, stone, and metal take 4.5 seconds to become available again.
How do I win the game and escape?
You must repair the shipwrecked boat exactly 4 times. Each repair requires 3 wood, 2 stone, 1 metal, and you must have already crafted both the axe and the pickaxe.
