From the outset, I wanted to create Eagle Island to be an experience where you can play the game to best suit your needs - a challenge I took head-on to make roguelites more accessible without compromising the genres core ideas. So many people have been playing Eagle Island, thanks for stepping up to offer feedback and continuing to support the game since launch!
A sincere Thank You to everybody enjoying their time with Eagle Island. Our Discord community has been growing steadily and just surpassed 1000 members! Our award-winning game is soaring to new heights - and thanks to the communitys feedback, which has been instrumental in the development of this free patch, Ive got a lot of great ideas for future features and additional content. My aim is to make this the best 2D roguelite platformer of 2019!
I'm adding to Eagle Islands already thorough list of accessibility options, further allowing players to leverage in-game features for more personalized gameplay experiences.
Ive pushed a bunch of features, rebalances and fixes in the upcoming patch, including some of the most requested features:
- New Lite difficulty setting - bridging the gap between Casual and Core
- 360 aiming option
- Permanent runestones option
- Store extra runestones in Quill's backpack
- Win bonus runestones on a game over
- Create a loadout of runestones from Quill's backpack at the beginning of a run
- Improved thumbstick aiming controls - for both 360 and non-360 aiming
- Revamped difficulty screens
- Option to change difficulty level on Game Over
- Rebalanced several runestones & abilities based on additional player feedback

🎮 Full Controller Support
With its falconry-based gameplay within uniquely generated worlds, Eagle Island is set to a beautifully modernized pixel art aesthetic and provides a breath of fresh air to the platforming genre.
Taking inspiration from the roguelike and metroidvania genres, players of Eagle Island can enjoy either short runs or a longer story based experience.
- Fully procedurally generated levels
- 80 different perk abilities to mix up the gameplay each run
- Magical feathers transform your bird into elemental forms
- 9 beautiful environments to explore
Quill's arsenal of solo moves consists simply of running, jumping and the occasional ledge grab - the game keeps to its classic 16-bit inspiration. Launch attacks with Koji in 8 directions using the D-pad-like aiming controls. Hit enemies in quick succession to earn greater rewards from combos. Miss an attack and you'll be forced to wait longer for Koji to return. If Koji is attacked or captured, Quill will be briefly defenceless and must take evasive action whilst vulnerable!
Eagle Island was supported by 1,291 backers on Kickstarter.
