This is quite an intriguing find!
I had initially assumed that Thermohaline Nostalgia Studios had deliberately vanished and/or tried to remove all traces of their work from the internet, but if there’s an advertisement for CheeseSporker in another company’s work, then that could indicate some degree of communication, or even collaboration, between the two studios.
I wonder if Running Refrigerator Studios has any email archives or correspondence with Thermohaline Nostalgia Studios. This could potentially be an interesting lead.
While the delisting of adult games doesn’t directly affect any of my current itch.io projects, it sets a disastrous and worrying precedent. If games can be removed from itch.io without warning because a far-right puritan group and a couple of payment processors applied pressure, then every game is in potential danger. This is censorship of art and is an attack on the livelihoods of itch.io’s creators. And there’s no reason to think that the far-right group would stop here. Games with LGBT themes, or swear words, or political satire, could easily be the next targets.
I urge itch.io to relist the games and to not cave to the pressure of far-right groups and payment processors. Payment processors should not be in the business of censorship; their purpose is to process payments.
If you have the time, contact the payment processors and let them know your opinion on their censorship. If you’re in America, contact Mastercard with this link and contact Visa with this link.

This is a pretty good game for this jam. The music and art are very neat. My only problem with it is that the platforming is sometimes a little bit sluggish. The gameplay reminds me a bit of Hello Worlds!, a game I enjoyed when I was younger. Have a nice jam!
