Web Testing Itch.io Web games

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I am looking to test some Itch.io games that can be played directly in the browser!

I'll spend around 5–30 minutes playing each game, depending on how fun it is for me, and give you completely honest feedback. I can help identify bugs, gameplay issues, confusing UI, or anything else that could be improved, if you want me to look at anything specific just write it in the comments!

You dont have to test anything in return. Im just happy to help out other developers!

Drop your game link in the comments and I'll check it out when I can! 😊

Edit: Will be testing these games tomorrow, going to sleep in a few minutes

Game I just released a chill game about vacuuming

Thumbnail

27 Upvotes

Hi! I'm JosNun, and I released my game Vacuum Simulator on itch.io this week.

It started building this because vacuuming is satisfying. It's one of those few chores where you clearly get to see your progress as you are getting it done. I pitched the idea to my wife and she thought it was a terrible idea, so naturally I built a prototype, which I low-key got addicted to.

In the game, Grandma Dot is retiring and leaves you her cleaning business. You pick jobs off her corkboard and clean people's houses at your own pace, while the cord catches on table legs and the dustbin loses suction as it fills up. Later on you get bigger homes, more vacuums, and a little crew of robot vacuums that bump into everything.

The demo is free and lets you play the first part of the game. You can also download it for Mac, Windows or Linux, and if you decide you want more, you can transfer your progress to the full game.

Questions This is our first game and we have some questions

Post image
2 Upvotes

We released a demo for our game in itchio about two months ago. Because it's our first project we don't have anything to compare it to so we'd appreciate perspective from people who have shipped a few games before.

Almost all plays and downloads were concentrated in a three week window. We understand a spike followed by a decay is normal so we are now worried about that part. A few things we are less sure about:

  • We are currently at 644 weekly impressions with a 1.24% CTR. Is that typical for itch? or is it a sign our thumbnail isn’t working or needs to be changed? Our "view to play" rate is around 78%, so the page itself seems fine once people land on it.
  • Has anyone managed a second wave on itch? Did it come from updates, dev logs or outside channels?
  • Browser plays seem to count game loads, not actual playtime. What do you use to measure retention in web builds?
  • We have 42 collections against 17 ratings. Do you treat collections as a meaningful interest signal, or is it noise?

Any benchmarks or experience appreciated. Thanks.

My first ever released demo on itch: Skyreap, a cozy automation game on floating islands

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

• Upvotes

just hit publish on my first demo on itch and wanted to share it somewhere 😊

https://entin-games.itch.io/skyreap

it's a small automation game set in a country of floating islands. you help a slightly crazy inventor explore the sky, start out with basically nothing, slowly build up production, and eventually fly off to take over new islands. everything is played with the mouse cursor only.

plays in the browser or on Windows. how long is it? no clue honestly, I made it so I'm the worst person to judge 😂 might be around 2 hours for you

made by me + my little sister on art.

if you try it, a comment on the itch page would make my week. even "this part was confusing" helps a lot at this stage

OS-Z Version 1.8.1 Released: A New Hardware Chapter for Jean-Héon

Post image
• Upvotes

OS-Z version 1.8.1 marks a major turning point in the history of Jean-Héon. For the very first time, software from our company is expanding to support three new hardware architectures on Linux: RISC-V, LoongArch, and PowerPC.

This update represents far more than a mere technical evolution. It signals our commitment to exploring new hardware horizons and preparing for a future beyond the currently dominant x86 and ARM architectures.

🌐 RISC-V: Paving the Way for the Post-x86 and Post-ARM Era

OS-Z becomes the first Jean-Héon software to support the RISC-V architecture. RISC-V is to hardware what Linux is to operating systems: an open instruction set architecture that represents a promising path for the future of computing.

We undertook the porting of OS-Z to this architecture with a long-term perspective: to explore the possibilities offered by alternative platforms and to help prepare for a computing future less dependent on the x86 and ARM ecosystems.

There is still a long road ahead, but we believe that architectural diversification is a sound approach for the years to come.

🇨🇳 LoongArch: Opening Up New Horizons

We have also ported OS-Z to LoongArch64, an architecture associated with the Chinese computing ecosystem.

This initiative broadens the hardware horizons of OS-Z and allows us to explore an additional architectural environment, moving beyond the platforms traditionally favored by the industry.

🖥️ PowerPC: Because You Never Know! 🤷‍♂️

Finally, OS-Z is arriving on Linux for the PowerPC 64 (ppc64) architecture.

Why? Because you never know!

After all, maybe one day MrBeast will decide to test our games and software in a video titled:"Gaming on a $50,000 IBM server!"*

MrBeast, if you're reading this, we actually have a PowerPC port for you to test! 👀

Okay, fair enough we admit that’s not exactly the most likely scenario. 😂

But who knows? Computing sometimes holds surprises, and we prefer to keep the door open to the most unexpected possibilities!

🔭 Jean-Héon: A bright future

With version 1.8.1 of OS-Z, Jean-Héon takes another step forward in its commitment to hardware openness.

RISC-V, LoongArch, and PowerPC represent three new avenues for our software to explore. This evolution reflects our desire not to limit our horizons to a single processor type or computing ecosystem.

The post-x86 and post-ARM eras won't be built overnight. However, we want to start exploring these possibilities today.

The future of computing could be more diverse, more open, and more surprising than we imagine.

And at Jean-Héon, we fully intend to explore that future one architecture at a time.

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND! 🚀

Playable Link: https://tommymcflurry.itch.io/infinihell

Platform: PC Windows

Description: InfiniHell is a fast arcade FPS. Each floor is a procedurally generated 3D cube maze full of soldiers, mechs, and entities from beyond. Survive the maze traps, events and find the exit lift before your clock runs out. Every floor you clear adds time, but the clock has a cap, and the floors keep getting bigger and meaner.

Between floors you draft powerups that turn your soldier and railgun into something worse: beams that ricochet and split on every bounce, explosive HEI rounds, a gravity gun that throws enemies into each other, chain lightning, a shotgun, charge shots, grenades, a plasma launcher, a grappling hook, a sword, ways to erases the maze itself and so much more.

New feature: 1-4 players Co-op descent (LAN)
