VOLCANO ISLAND -

a classic 8-bit/16-bit strategy game inspired by SIMCITY with a heavy dose of arcade drama.

Build houses, shops, farms, docks, temples, mines, and tourist huts on a living, breathing island. Manage money, population, and — most importantly — keep the angry volcano from destroying everything you've built.

Every year the pressure builds. Temples calm it. Mines anger it. When it finally erupts you’ll face lava flows, pyroclastic surges, lahars, and tephra storms. Survive long enough, complete the **Sacred Ritual**, and bring eternal peace to the island.

**Classic arcade soul. Modern strategy depth.**
