Olly the Paw is a gentle idle game from 7Spot Games about a small bear whose plane has come down on a bright island. Getting home is the goal, and repairs cost money, so the whole island becomes a little economy with Olly at its centre. You walk between orchards and fields, fill a basket with honey, berries and fruit, and trade with the island's wealthier animals for gold coins.
The early hours are a lesson in the value of processing. Selling raw fruit works, but handing ingredients to Chef Panda turns them into desserts that sell for far more. The Mole's workshop sells the upgrades that shape how the game feels: faster walking and a larger basket both mean fewer trips and less waiting. Then the foxes arrive. Recruiting them and raising their levels hands the orchard harvest over to helpers, until the job you did by paw at the start runs by itself.
Progress toward the ending comes in two forms. Coins buy land expansions that open more of the island, and scattered pages of the plane's manual have to be found as you explore. When every expansion is bought and every page recovered, the aircraft reaches full repair and Olly can take off. By then foxes are collecting, the panda is baking nonstop and reindeer keep the income flowing.
There are no enemies and no timers pushing you. Sessions of five to ten minutes suit it well, it is rated for all ages, and it plays with keys on a computer or a virtual joystick on a phone.

How to play Olly the Paw
- Walk through the orchard and fill your basket with fruit, berries and honey.
- Carry ingredients to Chef Panda so they become desserts worth more than raw goods.
- Sell to the animal traders by walking up to them, and bank the coins.
- Buy speed and basket upgrades at the Mole's workshop, then hire foxes to harvest for you.
- Spend spare coins on land expansions and pick up every manual page you find until the plane is fixed.
Tips
- Movement speed and basket size pay off first, because every other task involves walking.
- Max out the foxes as soon as you can afford it; automation is what makes the late game relaxing.
- Explore new land right after buying it, since manual pages are spread across the island.
