I finally installed the itch launcher, but a lot of the games I've added to my collection are listed as 'Buy Now' instead of 'Install', do I have to individually register these or what??

my initial impression of A Hole New World is.... wow, how the gently caress did I miss this one when it came out? does the NES widescreen thing like shovel knight, has megaman style weapons you get after each stage, decent music, nice art, controls are tight. cool poo poo My Rabbits are Gone also looks to be very good, it's basically Mario vs DK's Mini-Mario puzzling, but with a Full Bore-style open world.

The 7th Guest posted:the next batch will include The Hex (by the Pony Island developer), Flash Point (tactical firefighter game), Four-Sided Fantasy (a puzzle game involving wrapping around the edges of the screen), and this game that looks cute https://dazel.itch.io/gumgem Flash Point is a really good and really challenging digital version of the board game. Players control fire fighters with different roles who have to work together to explore burning buildings and try to get all the trapped people out before the fires go out of control and bring the building down. It's a lot of fun and very much recommended! E: Oh poo poo, they added MICRO MAGES. It's a 1-4 player co-operative retro platformer with the gimmick being that it was actually made as a NES game and the PC version is just the NES ROM running in an emulator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFX401vvKTQ Those fellas had to do some god drat hero programming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWQ0591PAxM

The author apparently doesn't know why it was removed and has requested for its inclusion again.

Elena Temple was kinda meh, I definitely get what it's going for, a kind of Spectrum-esque temple exploring game, but it doesn't feel great to play. Halloween Forever, also not great to play unfortunately. Bubbles the Cat is alright, the only thing is that it's an auto-runner (with levels ala Mario Run) and I doubt PCs were the intended platform for a game like this.

Played a bunch of that Fortune-499 when I was supposed to be working today and it's really great. Charming lil JRPG with an interesting battle system that it immediately starts pushing the boundaries of.

BADBLOOD is a very fun two-player hide and seek game where you get to murder your friends! The art style is neat and I always appreciate local co-op pc games.

Thanks to everybody who posted their recommendations in this thread. I now have SevenYearItchio.txt on my desktop filled with dozens of game titles, in case I have a falling out with my Steam backlog. Are there more games that feature Game Boy-style graphics? I have noticed Cuckoo Castle and Tiny Dangerous Dungeons thus far. Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Jun 11, 2020 |

Semblance is really really good. You play as a blob of play dough who's blob friends are being turned pointy and crystalline, and you need to deform the terrain and yourself to help stop it. Developed by a team out of South Africa. They're wrapping up additions to the bundle and one I was hoping would pop up has been submitted, Witchway. That's a puzzle platformer where you have a wand that lets you manipulate blocks to help you find your way out of the bottom of a well. E. Oh gently caress yeah pikuniku is on the docket to get added too. That's an uhh, adventure platformer? It's a real fun time, takes only a handful of hours to complete and has some fun multiplayer stuff as well. SeXReX fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Jun 11, 2020 |

Hi! I'm the developer of Village Monsters which is a cozy life-sim game in the vein of Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. You play as the sole human living in a community of monsters      Village Monsters is technically not released yet (it's in Early Access), so I'm constantly adding new content and features. Version 1.0 should be out sometime this fall. I actually felt some trepidation when I first submitted to this bundle (and back then it was like 100 titles!!) because VM is my first game and I'm trying to start a career as a solo indie dev. It's not exactly good business sense to give away your game before it's even released, yeah? But the groups its raising money for are so urgently needed, and after seeing the bundle's success I feel insanely lucky that I could be a tiny part of something so awesome and historic. Anywho, you have a bajillion games to play now, but please give my dumb little Village Monsters a shot sometime!

the submission cutoff is today. any submissions after will go into a 'supporter' spinoff, which is where a lot of the freebie submissions are going. i'm not sure if that will be given out to owners of this bundle or not

Here are some recommendations for anyone in the mood for more atmospheric games. Affinity is a short game about reassembling various objects. It's one step removed from a jigsaw puzzle, but it has a relaxing tone and it's very satisfying. Vignettes and GNOG involve poking and prodding at objects to make things happen; you'll probably like these if you enjoy games like The Room. Earthtongue is an old classic about growing an entire ecosystem of fungi and insects. There's no way to permanently lose, but you can have temporary setbacks if a species dies out for one reason or another. Lastly, Mu Cartographer is a game that tells you nothing and is all about figuring out how to use various tools to explore a strange land. On the more action-heavy side of things, I recommend Circa Infinity, Soft Body, and Semblance. Circa Infinity is a kaleidoscopic platformer (of sorts) all about running in circles and avoiding enemies. It's extremely cool and the later levels get rather hard. Meanwhile, Soft Body has you slithering around as a snake-thing performing various tasks while dodging a ton of bullets. Semblance is a platformer where you move and reshape the environment to solve puzzles; I've only played a little of this one so far, though what I've seen has been incredible. I'm going to also hop on the ever-growing bandwagon and give a strong recommendation to Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass if you like RPG's or games with good storytelling in general. It's an emotional roller coaster and the happy parts make the tragic parts hit all the harder.

Another little roundup after looking through that kind goon's organizer Receiver  "Receiver was created for the 7-day FPS challenge to explore gun handling mechanics, randomized levels, and unordered storytelling. Armed only with a handgun and an audio cassette player, you must uncover the secrets of the Mindkill in a building complex infested with automated turrets and hovering shock drones." Pyre  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1k5SCCN1sk "Pyre is a party-based RPG in which you lead a band of exiles to freedom through ancient competitions spread across a vast, mystical purgatory. Who shall return to glory, and who shall remain in exile to the end of their days?" The Hex  In a creaky old tavern, in a forgotten corner of the video game universe, a storm is raging. The barkeep gets a patchy phone call. It's hard to tell what the caller is saying, but this much is clear: someone in The Six Pint Inn is planning a murder. There are six patrons; all of them are video game protagonists trying to escape their past... But The Six Pint Inn has a way of bringing back old memories. Each flashback plays out in an entirely different genre, sometimes blending multiple. By exploring these memories you may discover the identity of the murderer... or you may learn much darker secrets. Pikuniku  Pikuniku is an absurdly wonderful puzzle-exploration game that takes place in a strange but playful world where not everything is as happy as it seems. Help peculiar characters overcome struggles, uncover a deep state conspiracy, and start a fun little revolution in this delightful dystopian adventure! The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human  "The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human is a pixelated, side-scrolling, underwater action-adventure game about exploring the decaying ruins of our species -- and fighting deadly sea-creatures -- in search of answers about our downfall." Anodyne  In this unique Zelda-lite game, explore and fight your way through surreal and creepy, nature, urban and abstract themed areas in the human Young's subconscious, evoked by a 16-bit-era visual style and a moody, dream-like soundtrack. Talk to bizarre characters and survive through Game Boy-styled dungeons, while hunting down mysterious keys and cards that will allow you to dive deeper into the dream world. Mini Ghost  "Mini Ghost" is a mini metroidvania in the 80's MSX art style and gameplay. It's the mini prequel of Ghost 1.0. There might still be stuff I'm missing and I'll probably keep finding hidden gems for months. lunar detritus posted:aaaand https://plug-in-digital.itch.io/anarcute just got delisted for some reason so now there are 1639. I was just going to include it in this post as well
