This massive update takes the awesome mechanics of the original Eagle Island, and builds on them in fresh and inventive ways across an expansion that is practically a new game!
About Twist:
Eagle Island Twist is a free update that brings an all-new story to Eagle Island. As Fia, use your kookaburra Kusako to embark on an adventure that has you facing off against a dark doppelganger to restore a broken artifact - the Manaroc Twist! On your journey youll encounter extraordinary challenges, huge bosses, and awesome new powers, as you track down Dark Fia.
Jam packed with new content, Eagle Island Twist brings the high-flying action of the original game to new heights!
New Levels, New Challenges:
Explore over 45 handcrafted stages that mix up the gameplay and pay homage to classic retro titles. Choose between casual or more difficult routes via the branching world map, and replay levels to find hidden collectables and secret areas.
Feathered Frenzy:
On your journey youll find emeralds hidden throughout the levels. Use these to unlock new feathers that grant incredible powers like the golden Lumara form, which allows you to launch Kusako at the speed of light!
Two For One:
Owners of the original Eagle Island get Twist as a free update, and newcomers get both experiences in one great package! Take on the original roguelike challenge as Quill and Koji to defeat the guardian eagle Armaura, or try the Rogue and Weekly Speedrun gameplay modes to test your skills.

🎮 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.
