itch.io

I understand this, but that's also inaccurate for games that were made before AI disclosure and modern GenAI existed. Currently, you can use the no  AI tag like on itch.io to get the strict no AI filter.

I made this website for filtering games on itch.io with more filtering options. https://better-itch-search.kalrog.com/

Wouldn't happen to my bisexual ass, but I still made a website to filter out tags because I was annoyed with the amount of horror games. I guess you could use it for that too. https://better-itch-search.kalrog.com/

Made this to exclude tags and do other complex search queries. It's based on a crawl of publicly available information on itchio so it will always be slightly outdated and not as nicely sorted (i can't do clicks or downloads as popularity metric), but i did what i could.

Hi, I have created a website that allows you to browse and search games on itch.io with more filtering options than currently available on itch.io. I have had some frustrations with the limited options for excluding tags in on the existing browse page and saw that others felt the same way. 

Check out https://better-itch-search.kalrog.com/

Features

• full text search for title, tags, short description, full game page text to help you find games, not just titles
• AI, NSFW and exclude tags filter to hide what you aren't interested in
• tags, platform, price, release date, genre, input method, average session length, multiplayer and accessibility filters like on itch.io
• advanced query language with not, and, or and comparison operations (<, >, =) to find specifically what you want
• save searches lists and RSS feeds to share your search and stay up to date with games you are interested in
• no accounts required, everything is anonymous or stored locally in your browser

Notes

There are some limitations to what I can provide without direct access to itch.io's internal data. The popularity and top-rated search are based only on ratings, not on page hits or similar metrics (which I'd guess is what itch.io uses). Release dates and update dates are also not always up to date on my page because they aren't publicly visible for all games on itch.io, but they should generally be accurate for games that have been released after the May 10, 2026, and for popular top ranked games. For all other games the release dates are estimated. I currently, cannot provide up-to-date sale information on games, so the sales are hidden, this may change in the future.

This site is not affiliated with itch.io and all game data was gathered using information that is publicly available on the internet, through standard web crawling techniques.

Code around 1 Week, crawling itch.io maybe 5 days?

Very cute game, I enjoyed it despite my phobia of pretty much all sea creatures. The little drawings you made them look very cute. The only part I didn't enjoy was the real pictures at the end, but that's okay.

I made a website to extend the search options for searching itch.io games. I'm currently still indexing the games so maybe my sites search will be very slow once it's done, but currently at about 30% i can search for most queries in ~200ms. Well you can try it out and maybe i will learn why itch.io doesn't have more advanced searching options. https://better-itch-search.kalrog.com/

I took the problem into my own hands. Here is my website that allows you to search games on itch with the option to exclude or include any of the things you can search for on itch.io. https://better-itch-search.kalrog.com/

Love the game. Very fun and great take on the theme. Seeing my little city fall off was very funny

Enjoyed the game. the game could be balanced to be a bit easier, but it still fun overall.

Great animations, squishing people with the roots feels very satisfying in an evil way :)

Loved the visuals and sound of this game. I would not describe the gameplay as relaxing though. Hitting the birds is quite difficult unless you resort to spamming your mouse button.

Don't close this game if the movement feels bad to you at first. This game is well worth the initial effort it takes to learn the movement system and once you do you can fling yourself through the levels in a way that feels amazing. The visuals are charming and the sounds also work well. Great game.
Unfortunately it did crash at some point which is a bit sad

Love the way the controls feel and the way the character move. Launching yourself using the sword is amazing and made me laugh out loud the first time i did it. I could see myself playing this for another hour if there weren't so many other games to try

Highscore: 14850 / 7.1 Meters

I like the look of it, but had a very hard time actually playing it, definietly very difficult especially on a cheap keyboard

Thank you for your review :)

This is probably one of my favorite weird indie RPGs. The text is inspiring and one of the reasons I have started writing weird little RPGs. It's also actually terrifying. A must-read if you are into this kind of art.

I think i might not understand the save rules correctly.  It seems like 1d10 vs attribute would be very easy to beat.

beautiful

I loved reading Heroic Archivist and became very interested in your other work. 

The concept of this game is very interesting and I love the writing and general tone. 

Gorgeous design and layout, an interesting spin on story structure, a great adaptation of the setting and excellent writing make this a great read for anyone interested in role-playing games. Looking forward to my first playtest.

I really like the system that lasers and feelings uses... i don't really know how it could be used here but it might be interesting

I have always felt like I'm good at "Finding Paths Through Crowds" but i have never played a game that allowed me to have it as a stat. This sound like it would be funny to play.
