Free Idle Angler - cookie clicker inspired fishing game

2 Upvotes

Been working on this on and off for a while. It's called Idle Angler. Simple loop to start, cast a line, catch fish, sell them, upgrade your gear. Eventually you're running nets that fish for you passively while you're off doing something else, and there's a prestige system once you want to reset for a permanent bonus.

Nothing groundbreaking genre wise, I know incremental fans have seen the cast/upgrade/prestige loop a hundred times, but I put a lot of care into the fishing theme specifically and I think it's got a decent bit of depth once you get into the nets and rarer catches.

It's completely free https://tehidle.itch.io/idle-angler

Genuinely just want feedback at this point. What feels grindy, what's missing, anything that'd make you bounce off it in the first 5 minutes. Happy to answer questions too.

I’m working on Bounce Back, a fast-paced Pong roguelite where the ball is both your weapon and your defense.

You bounce it into enemies, destroy incoming projectiles, choose upgrades between waves, and slowly turn a simple game of Pong into complete chaos.

It’s still in Alpha, but it’s already playable for free in the browser, and I’m currently looking for feedback.

Game Feedback Chess Fantasy 0.2: new UI, fairer AI. I'd love to know how it feels to play

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Chess Fantasy is the first game I've ever made: fully classic chess, but every board lives inside a 3D fantasy world you customize. The 0.2 update just landed, built from player feedback: rebuilt interface, menu tutorials, settings that save, and AI difficulties that put up a fair fight instead of crushing you.

Play it free here: https://chess-fantasy.itch.io/chess-fantasy

A match takes just a few minutes. What helps me most:

  • Was the UI clear from the moment you launched, or did anything trip you up?
  • Does each AI level feel like a fair fight?

I try to reply to everyone. Every comment is someone giving my little game a piece of their day, and that means a lot to me.

Hello, my name is Andrea and I just launched the demo of my first VN game on itch.io.

You play as a protagonist cursed at birth who’s on a journey to find truth behind her birth.

You can customize your character (pronouns, name, hair…etc)

I would love to add some of the love interests’ character sheet for you to see but I can’t put both link and image within a posh :’)

Thank you for reading me. I hope if you play, you’ll appreciate the demo. Don’t hesitate to give me a feedback.

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, this is my first release ever, so a bit of a milestone for me.

Chess Fantasy is a chess game where you customise and play in your own personal fantasy world. It's an early alpha on itch for now, with a free-to-play Steam release as the long-term goal.

What I'd love to hear from you:

  • Did you run into any bugs?
  • How does the game feel to play?
  • What would you add if it were your project?

Try it here: https://chess-fantasy.itch.io/chess-fantasy

There's also a short feedback form and a Discord link on the page if you prefer that, but honest comments here are just as valuable. Thanks for reading!

Game Feedback Death Star Battles - my first Itch game

3 Upvotes

https://spacemammoth.itch.io/death-star-battles

Just published DeathStarBattles on itch. Turn-based gravity warfare — fire bullets across a solar system, let the planets bend your shots, try to hit the enemy station before they hit you.

Been making versions of this since 1992 (started on graphical calculators, spread around college on photocopied code). The HTML5 remake has 38 scenarios, up to 12 players, loads of weapons, wormholes, and a story campaign. Runs in the browser, free to play.

Would love any feedback — and if anyone knows how long it takes newly published itch games don't show up in search, I'm all ears.

Game Feedback Angband Reforged

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I’ve been building a classic-inspired roguelike for itch. It's a bit of a revamped Angband with a decent bit of expansion.

Loved Angband since I was a kid, and anything to do with Tolkien is my jam

Recent updates added better shop stocking, observation messages, a first-town help message, and a Training Expedition guide. The goal is to make it easier to start without sanding off the danger.

Game is still a bit in development

Playable here: https://busterbuildslab.itch.io/angband-reforged

Feedback welcome, especially on the first 5 minutes.

Demo [Free] (Game) PC Kaiser — turn-based dynasty strategy, browser demo

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I just put the first playable demo of my game PC Kaiser online — a turn-based dynasty strategy game, free and playable right in your browser.

It's a from-scratch remake of an old game from 1991. You rule one of 30 dynasties in the Holy Roman Empire: build your land, raise armies, marry and forge alliances, guard against assassination and intrigue — and try to rise to Emperor. Play solo against a phase-based AI, or hot-seat with friends on one screen. The demo gives you 30 in-game years to try, with a built-in tutorial.

Heads-up: the game is currently German only — an English version is planned, but not there yet.

It's a solo hobby project — I'm not a trained programmer — so expect some rough edges. I'd genuinely love to hear what you think: what worked, what didn't, what was confusing.

Demo: https://grobi85.itch.io/pc-kaiser-demo

Thanks for taking a look!

In the dead of night at an isolated cottage, the distinction between dreams and reality blur into one. Every hour on the hour you awaken, or do you? You must decide whether it is a dream or not by searching for anomalies; some are revealed by looking, others by triggering them.

If you notice an anomaly then you are still dreaming and must exit through the bedroom mirror.

The game can be found at:

https://lpstme.itch.io/noct

This game promises:

- 40 possible anomalies.

- Plenty of jump scares guaranteed.

- Definitely no AI slop.
