Island Saver is an endless runner where you collect treasure and save the creatures on an island in danger. Invest your lootfruit to earn more interest on each run or spend it wisely on customization.

Island Saver was created for the Michigan State University Federal Credit Union as a way to teach children ages 10-12 about financial literacy and fiscal responsibility. Development began during May 2018 and continued until release in May of 2019. Island Saver has been the most popular in a series of games created for MSU FCU.
