Character customizer

Every mode uses the characters you make in the Customize editor: species, colours, face, outfits, hats and accessories. You can keep 5 saved looks and race, party or adventure as any of them. The Photo tab saves a picture of your character with a background (wardrobe, green screen, colours or transparent) and a pose. Try it in your browser: Character Designer.

Keyboard and controller

Every mode can be played with only a controller: the home screen, FloppaKart, Floppa Odyssey, FloppaParty, Floppatopia and the customizer. D-pad or stick moves, A selects, B goes back, and the selected button has a bright outline. Button hints switch between keyboard and controller depending on what you used last. All key and controller bindings can be changed in Settings, with an extra FloppaKart Controller section.

Settings and performance

Max FPS is a number you type in (up to 1000), and Max FPS in menus limits the main menu, pause screens and kart menus (120 by default). Options › Graphics has a performance check with FPS, loading times and tips for older PCs.

Floppaland, the main game

The island life sim at the heart of everything: fish, farm, craft, build, meet villagers and explore new islands, alone or with friends. Every island is different. About the main game →

Getting started

1. Shake trees for Sticks. 2. In Backpack → Crafting, make a flimsy Axe and Pickaxe. 3. Chop, mine, fish, talk to residents and follow quests. 4. Build a Crafting Table for advanced recipes (the Mayor Office has a permanent one). 5. Town Rating milestones unlock bigger goals like the Museum and the Rowboat.

Controls

Use the on-screen side shortcuts for Backpack, Tool Wheel, Fishdex, Mastery and Collection. All key and controller bindings can be changed in Settings. Walk up to an object until its prompt appears and press Interact. The Collection Journal tracks discovered items, fish, expedition finds and missing blueprints. Full Collection →

New islands every time

Procedurally generated islands and ocean regions to explore.

Fishing

Cast out, discover new fish and fill your collection. Want a taste? Try the little browser minigame.

Fish list

All fish with icon, value and catch chance are in the Fishdex.

Farming & crafting

Grow crops, gather materials and craft what you need.

Villagers & quests

Meet the islanders, help them out and unlock new things.

Building your home

Housing, building and landscaping to make the island yours.

Playing together

Local and online multiplayer with your friends.

Collection Journal

The journal tracks every item, tool, fish, expedition find and missing blueprint you have discovered. Full Collection Journal →

Fishing card

Save your trophy shelf as a picture to share. Fishing starts with a 3-second countdown.

Crafting & blueprints

Basic recipes like the Crafting Table and flimsy tools need no blueprint. Advanced recipes need a Crafting Table. Axes, pickaxes, shovels, fishing rods, bows and swords unlock through player level and any required Mastery skill, never through blueprints. Only some other recipes, such as the Rowboat and the Computer, use blueprints. Full recipe list →

Combat

Melee: swords go from Wood (Lv.1) through Stone, Bronze, Iron and Gold to Blackstone (Lv.19). The Melee Mastery tree has Offense, Control and Defense branches; Guard even lets you parry arrows with good timing. Ranged: the Hunting Bow (Lv.7) fires crafted arrows, and the Bow Mastery tree adds aiming, mobility, fire and ice arrows and arrow recovery. Enemies: roaming skeletons, skeleton camps and Corsair ships at sea. In the Arena you fight up to 25 waves with a short rest between them, and you get 15 arrows back each rest.

Getting the Rowboat

Raise your Town Rating to 1.5★, then visit the Tinkerer, who handles the Rowboat, rope and advanced blueprints. Your boat is returned to the main-island dock, and the Tinkerer can locate it or send it back. In co-op a second player can ride in the passenger seat.

Museum

Place or visit the Museum once it is unlocked. Dig up fossils and let the Curator assess them first. Fish, seashells, coral and expedition artifacts can be donated directly. A donated specimen is recorded permanently for that save and fills the museum checklists.

Biomes & islands

Every island keeps its original type, even after landscaping: ordinary islands, themed ones (Ore, Volcanic, Coral Atoll, Skeleton Grave, Arena and more) and climate islands. Deserts (Sunscorched Mesa, Desert Islets) lie in the outer ocean and give Cactus Flesh, Spines, Cuttings and rare Desert Glass. Frozen islands lie deeper in Dreadwater and give Ice Shards, Frozen Wood and rare Frost Crystal. Cacti can be farmed: plant a Cutting on clear sand and it matures in 2 in-game days.

Ocean zones

Recommended levels, not restrictions: Coastal Waters (0 m, Lv.1+), Open Sea (100 m, Lv.3+), Outer Reaches (200 m, Lv.6+, roaming skeletons from about 220 m), Deep Expanse (350 m, Lv.10+, skeleton camps), Abyssal Reach (550 m, Lv.14+), Dreadwater (650 m, Lv.18+, Skeleton Corsair ships). You can sail anywhere at any level, and a warning shows if you go below the recommendation.

Villagers

Detailed entries will be added by the developer.

Floppatopia

A team RPG in the Floppaland universe. Baron Blank, a portrait come to life, stole the villagers' faces and flung them onto monsters. Lead your party across eight worlds to win them back, then take on a ninth island after the story. See what's built →

📖 Floppatopia · Cast your story

Who plays the Curator, the Fisher, the Warrior and the others, and who is Baron Blank? Keep the island villagers or make every role in the character designer, with their own name. Bosses wear the faces of your cast.

📖 Floppatopia · Your team

Floppa starts alone. Friends join on the road and every villager you rescue from a boss joins too: up to eleven heroes. Four fight and the rest wait on the bench, still learning. There are 13 classes (six from the start) with eight skills each, and the Class Hall in every town lets a hero change class without losing their level.

📖 Floppatopia · World map

Eight worlds, each its own map with levels, a town, a secret level and the boss. Beat the boss and the next world opens; earlier worlds stay open for training. New roads glow pink, cleared ones turn grey, and a road gets its golden flag once every way is walked.

📖 Floppatopia · Roads and forks

Every level is a road the team walks as a 3D side-scroller. Monsters jump out, chests appear (some bite), shops and campfires wait along the way. Roads split, join again and even branch three ways: at a fork the road map opens big and you pick the way. Press M to see the map while you walk.

📖 Floppatopia · Battles

Turn-based and easy to learn: Fight, Skills, Snacks, Help a friend or Guard. You choose for your own hero; the others act on their own, based on class, personality and friendships. Hit a monster wearing a stolen face to get a timing bar (Face Hit). Below half HP every boss gets serious.

📖 Floppatopia · The inn

After every level the team rests at a cozy two-storey inn: rooms, breakfast, requests from your heroes, night events and a Game Corner with a prize wheel. Sharing rooms and outings grow friendships, which unlock team moves in battle.

Floppa Odyssey

A 3D platformer in its own world. Princess Sogga's palace has gone dark: Bingus hid every Golden Shrimp inside the palace's magic paintings. Jump into the paintings, win the shrimp back and open the palace again, one door at a time. See what's built →

🌟 Floppa Odyssey · Friendly, never cruel

No game over: falling only costs a little health, and fainting sends you back to the start of the level. Every shrimp, coin record and opened door is saved as you go. The title screen has Continue, New game, Speedrun mode and Controls.

🌟 Floppa Odyssey · Floppa Palace (hub)

The palace opens up bit by bit. Every door shows how many shrimp it needs (0, 1, 3 and 8 in the lobby, 12 for the boss door, 20 in the basement, 30 and 50 upstairs). Hazel the Hint Keeper in the lobby always knows your next door. Secrets in the palace itself: a hidden slide, a rooftop climb and a dive to the bottom of the lake.

🌟 Floppa Odyssey · Paintings and levels

Jump into a painting and pick a goal; the level changes to match it. Every level also has eight red coins and 100 coins, each worth one more shrimp.
Bramble Hill Fort, Sunshell Bay (splash pack) and Croaker Swamp (frog capture) hold 16 shrimp each. Hollow Manor (puffbat capture) and Frosty Peaks (rumblerock capture) follow, and Sir Bonkus guards the basement key in his Sky Arena.

🌟 Floppa Odyssey · Moves

Always with you: triple jump, long jump, ground pound, dive, butt slide, wall kicks, ledge grabs with shimmying and climbing, and swimming.

🌟 Floppa Odyssey · Cap throw and captures

Throw your cap to hit things or bounce off it in mid-air. Throw it at a creature to take it over: a frog for a huge charged jump, a puffbat to glide across wide gaps, or a heavy rumblerock that smashes cracked ice and walks along the bottom of lakes.

🌟 Floppa Odyssey · Splash pack

A water backpack for the water levels: hover for a moment and spray away Bingus's goo. Practise in the splash pool in the palace basement.

🌟 Floppa Odyssey · Map and shrimp list

The pause menu has a map of the area with every shrimp marked, and a shrimp list with a checklist and hints for every level.

🌟 Floppa Odyssey · Speedrun mode

A timer with splits for every new shrimp, your personal best and gold segments, for Any% or All shrimp runs. It never touches your normal save.
