I Love a Bunch of Games

Home of #JakeReviewsItch, in which I review every single game I have acquired through Itch.io. It's a nightmare! Also featuring other, non-Itch game things on Sundays.

March 2023 Game Awards

You know how this works: Every day, I review an Itch.io game, and on the first day of each month, I give prestigious awards to the previous month's games. There is no reason we need to acknowledge that I've been on hiatus for more than two weeks. We can just pretend that everything is normal. This month's award categories come courtesy of Steve Kim, whose Tweet was the first hit when I Googled, "1 like = 1 game". Thanks, Steve! He also has a long-abandoned Tumblog, which is pretty fun if you want some silly goofs about things that were happening on Giant Bomb 5+ years ago.

Week In Review - 3/12/23

This week's reviews:

🧡🧡🧡🧡🤍 Alien Life Lab 🧡🧡🤍🤍🤍 All Haze Eve 🧡🧡🧡🧡🤍 All You Can Eat 🧡🧡🤍🤍🤍 Alone With You 🧡🧡🧡🧡🤍 Alt-Frequencies 🧡🧡🤍🤍🤍 Ambidangerous 🧡🧡🧡🤍🤍 Amelie

It's a week of messes! Steam is a mess! I am a mess! Even the Game of the Week is a mess!

Game of the Week

All You Can Eat is easily the best game I reviewed this week. Alt-Frequencies is the clear runner-up. Game of the Week, however, is a title that goes to the game that's still occupying my brain after the fact...

Price (US): $2.99

Included In: Bundle for Racial Equality and Justice

Genre: Adventure

Pitch: A trick-or-treating simulator where seeking candy is just an excuse to kill people? Except you have to do adventure game puzzles to break into their property, so I don't know what it is. A hazy premise for a hazy game. It's all haze, baby!

My expectations: Looks Halloween-y, without anything resembling horror. The download is just 33 mb, so I bet it will be short and uncomplicated. Maybe just talking to a few guys; possibly some fetch-quest puzzles? There's only one screenshot on the Itch page—grayscale except for a demon skeleton's glowing eyes. I dig the art style.

#JakeReviewsItch by Genre

Every review from #JakeReviewsItch, sorted by genre and arranged alphabetically. Genres provided by developers/publishers on Itch.io. A lot of developers/publishers seem very confused about what kind of game they've made. You can also sort by name or rating.

[4/25: Phew! I've cleaned up the broken links and the clutter on the name and rating pages. Now to get genre sorting back in shape. Should be done by the end of the week.] Genres on this page, alphabetically: Action / Adventure / Card Game / Educational / Fighting / Interactive Fiction / Platformer / Puzzle / Rhythm

See Page 2 for: Role Playing / Shooter / Simulation / Strategy / Visual Novel / N/A (No genre tag)
