You have ten minutes on a commute and want something light: harvest a few crops, cook a meal, clear one puzzle on a new island. That is the loop Family Island is built around. It is a free Android game from Melsoft Games Ltd, filed under farm, survival and life simulation games.
Who a Stone Age island farm suits

Farming, cooking and hidden-object puzzles in practice
You play a modern family stranded in a Stone Age setting and take on roles such as farmer, cook, explorer and trader. The farm side covers growing crops, harvesting and crafting goods to trade with other characters. Cooking uses ingredients found on the island.
The adventure side sends you across wild territories to solve puzzles and find hidden objects on new islands. You also build up a small city in the ocean and decorate the village with flowers and plants. Animals include island hamsters, wild goats and a dinosaur.
Ads and randomized purchases to expect
