A downloadable game for Windows

Idle Beachcomber is a cozy idle game without any numbers. You play as a castaway, stranded on an island. The only contact you have with the outside world is the flotsam and jetsam that washes ashore.

A wide variety of curios (and rubbish) can make its way across the ocean blue - ranging from the most mundane seashells and beach paraphernalia to the rarest of artefacts.

Do what you wish with the items that have drifted onto your beach - collect them, inspect them or clear them away.


This game was made for the Games Ark Jam 2026. The theme of this jam was "Across the Ocean." The entire game was made in just 48 hours.


Controls Left Mouse: Drag and drop items, interact with buttons
