Visiting the glorious Ikonei Island is always a delight, whether you are befriending colorful creatures, battling treasure-hungry pirates, or crafting beautiful homesteads. But there is nothing better than doing this with your friends ♥

Today we release the “Ikonei Island: Friend’s Pass” which means that you are now free to hop onto the Island and explore the online multiplayer co-op experience with up to 3 of your friends. Anyone can play alone or together for the first two hours of play!


Hop into it!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1550730/Ikonei_Island_An_Earthlock_Adventure/

Gather resources, craft tools, and gear. Farm the land, build your base or a cozy home, and decorate it however you like.

You just need to make a "Ribbit Request" (a Join Code) to be able to join in the same game session together. Oh! And IMPORTANT! Ensure everyone who tries to play the co-op is using the latest updates - otherwise, you may unfortunately risk experiencing crashes.


1. Copy the Join Code under Multiplayer Options and share it with your friends.


2. Paste that on Join Game and that's it! Embark on the wholesome adventure of Ikonei Island together ♥

If your demo runs out, do not worry - after you purchase the base game you can continue where you left off.


Yes! In one month’s time, we are launching the full-release version of the game here on Steam!
