> is there a way to add these games to my Itch library without downloading them?
you can add them to a Collection. see the top right menu on the individual game pages
the bit i had difficulty with was downloading - hit download on the bundle page (in red at top) and that'll give you a page with individual download links.
anyway, minit downloaded (linux version).

Collection isn't quite what I want. I want Itch to register my ownership of a game without downloading the game to my system. Adding to a collection doesn't do that I think.

poly - if you click the "download" link it syncs the game to your library and takes you to another page, you don't have to download it immediately
― Nhex, Monday, 15 June 2020 19:01 (three years ago) link
The whole bundle is saved to your account under bundles they kept it separate from your library to not overwhelm you but it will add individual games as you download them

really enjoying minit too, stay away from those walkthroughs!kids thought my PICO8 game was rubbish. tried to explain that it was a deliberate homage to poor acorn electron games but it fell on deaf ears.
― thomasintrouble, Wednesday, 17 June 2020 08:11 (three years ago) link
i have already looked at the walkthroughs
a) i accidently mapped ENTER to be one of the keys and then couldn't select anything from the menu (turns out the sword button (X by default) also works as select)
b) twice i've needed to hit a "random" thing with my sword to get further
mapping this is so much easier with it running in a window and a screengrab app taking snapshots every 5 seconds. the underworld bits are a bit of a pain because they both overlap and are dark.

How about no wheels racing?
― Evan, Tuesday, 23 June 2020 11:42 (three years ago) link
oh there was something, Vienna Automobile Society.
Not your normal racing game. Basically all you do is choose the approach point for the bends on a track, the car drives around itself, to give yourself the best exit speed I presume. It's not great, interesting idea though.
― Ste, Tuesday, 23 June 2020 15:17 (three years ago) link
Going to try out Wheels of Aurelia, looks like a race/narrative crossover.
Also Vektor 2089 looks like a decent 2d dop down Wipeout type racer.
And non-racing, I love Trawl but not sure why. And it needs to be longer.
― Ste, Tuesday, 23 June 2020 15:27 (three years ago) link

got ending G, looks like there are 16 endings(or maybe more, just that it had a 1/16 after the G)It's rather delightful.
so the car drives by itself but you can go faster which will stop it turning by itself and will also enable you to avoid picking up hitchhikers.
whilst you're driving you get to engage in chit chat, using the mouse wheel to choose your responses, but you can say nothing.

Another vote for Minit. Whole thing's a couple of hours. Only had to look up a solution once, thankfully. Not gonna go back for all the secrets though (though I ended up one coin short of being able to buy the speed boots)
― Nhex, Tuesday, 7 July 2020 06:02 (three years ago) link
The speed boots were underused imo. Could've opened up a bunch of extra gameplay with them but as far as I know they were needed for only 2 optional bits.

currently playing Hidden Folks.

it's bascially Where's Wally / Waldo, only animated and interactive.
previous to that was Don't Move.
https://stvr.itch.io/dont-move
which is a single screen game where you get achievements by moving left and right (or, spoiler, but probably not as it's *in the title*, not moving left or right). spent a lot of it wondering if i was playing it right...
― koogs, Sunday, 26 July 2020 16:51 (three years ago) link
played the delightful Wide Ocean, Big Jacket last week. It's a short (1-2 hour) story game about a camping trip with good writing and some nice, relaxing wandering around sections. There's also a 20 minute or so demo prequel with no gameplay overlap that is worth playing too.

ok, stopped working on that for the moment to do a willy clone for a friend's birthday. here's a sample level (2 screens from 16). get the candle. warning: difficult.
http://www.koogy.clara.co.uk/wally.htmlkeys are left and right cursors and c to jump
graphics are taken from one of the icon packs from the bundle (which was handy).
it's got proper x-acceleration and gravity, unlike manic miner / willy, which means the jumps are more variable - willy had one arch he followed, this depends on how fast you are going when you jump. it's really annoying!
― koogs, Thursday, 11 February 2021 21:09 (three years ago) link
ha, brutal. I think my neighbours heard me when I missed the jump over that second star.
― Two Meter Peter (Ste), Thursday, 11 February 2021 22:59 (three years ago) link
but i got that fkng candle
― Two Meter Peter (Ste), Thursday, 11 February 2021 23:15 (three years ago) link
too hard?
i've just added a count of lives and done an end-to-end run-through of all 16 levels and it took about 10 minutes and 22 attempts. (manic miner gave you 3 for 20 levels, and had you collecting more things, but, as noted, was more controllable. also, it's harder because the sprites are fatter so the margins are tighter)
one bug i want to squash before it's done and that's the way you can walk over a two-space gap at speed - the velocity thing means it's using fractional positions but the grid is strictly 8x8 and sometimes you're over it, by a fraction of a pixel, before it realises. (same problem means you can stand on a collapsing block and it doesn't collapse)
