itch.io

Probably. You'r registered since 2018  and don't know that "No thanks, just take me to the downloads" means you don't have to pay anything? Also it says "DEMO" and this is not in the developrs hands how this system works but on itch.io site. 

after inspecting the current HTML, it looks like the issue is likely on my side.

The Featured Jams section is now wrapped in a dedicated
<section class="featured_jams">, which my parser was not accounting for previously.

I’m updating the bot to target that section explicitly instead of relying on a generic jam_grid_widget lookup.

Thanks for the clarification.

The bot currently makes a single request: GET /jams

It runs at most once every 24 hours, does not use cookies or JavaScript, and is for personal / non-commercial use only.

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding the Featured Game Jams page and possible issues with automated access.

I run a private Discord bot (not public, no commercial use) that once every 24 hours checks the itch.io Game Jam page and extracts the currently featured jams, which are then posted into my private Discord server.

For quite some time now, it seems that Cloudflare protection has been enabled more aggressively on itch.io. Whenever I access the site manually (PC or phone), I have to pass the Cloudflare browser check. Since then, my bot no longer finds any featured jams at all.

My concern is that Cloudflare might be blocking or altering the response for non-browser requests, which would explain why the bot suddenly receives no usable data.
The bot runs on a Raspberry Pi in my home network, but I assume that should not matter in principle.

My questions to the community:

• Is automated access / scraping of publicly visible pages (like Featured Game Jams) expected to be blocked by Cloudflare now?

• Is there an official or recommended way (API, feed, etc.) to programmatically access featured or popular game jams?

• Has anyone else noticed changes in how the Featured Jams page behaves for non-browser clients?

I’m not trying to bypass security or abuse the site, the bot runs only once per day and is for personal use only. I mainly want to understand whether this behavior is expected now and if there’s a supported alternative.

Thanks in advance!

I had much fun playing this cozy game. Everything fits perfect.

cool game. but seems like you can't improve your time once it is set

We wanted to add more interactive stuff but ran out of time. So glad you still had fun! :)

Thank you!  And we didn't know about that bug.  We'll definitely check it out but I don't know how to reproduce the crash because it didn't happened when I was playing it yet

Thanks a lot!  Yeah, definitely needs more polish

Thank you so much!

Wow, thank you so much! 😊

If we had more time, we definitely wanted to add a full gameplay loop: you'd collect scrap, sell the materials you gather (like screws and metal, but much more other things), and then use that money to buy new piles of scrap to process. We also wanted to add some upgrades for the scrapyard and maybe even new tools or machines to help break things faster.
Lots of ideas but just ran out of time during the jam

Thanks a lot!

You're right.  At this point, collecting car scrap is pretty much all you can do. We had bigger plans, like selling the scrap and buying new piles to keep the scrapyard running, but we ran out of time to implement those mechanics. Anyways thank you for checking it out!

Good question! 😅 We actually didn't get to implement the selling part in time. The idea was that you could sell the materials you collect from scrap, but for now, it's just the gathering part without the selling system. Definitely something we'd add if we continue working on it!

Thank you! 😊 Glad you liked the art style even though most of it is from an asset pack we linked in the description!
The goal was supposed to be running a scrapyard.. you destroy scrap to collect items like screws, metal, etc., and then sell those to earn money. With that money, you'd buy new scrap to keep the cycle going and grow your scrapyard over time. But we sadly couldn't finish it within 48h 

Loved the visuals, music and gameplay. I think you made the most out of the theme and I'm always amazed what a small group of experienced/skilled people can achieve in such a small timeframe. This would be good material to make a real commercial game. Keep going on!

Same here, can this work on Godot?

Please make browser port :)

Cooles Spiel. Bin bis Runde 5 gekommen weil ich von etwas abgeschossen wurde. Mein Verbesserungsvorschlag wäre nach jeder Runde einen Hinweis zu geben falls neue Gegnertypen kommen. 

Is web not supported anymore?

This game is absolutely fantastic. You've done an amazing job! The music and graphics blend together perfectly. Unfortunately I encountered a crash later in the forest. Maybe you can fix this

How do you get iron and coal?

Thank you! I have big plans ;D

I'm suddenly so thirsty for milk 🐮

Wow, the game is so good! Especially the story. I played it few days before and now and it got much improvements. 

Great bullet hell game, I love it. Everything feels so well made and visually stunning

Great game! I like that it's not as hard as the other Metroidvanias, but it's still very fun and challenging to explore.

very impressive game. How do you made the start screen intro where the player is playing the game? Is this a gameplay video or scripted?

Fun little game! Especially the water effect looks very nice.

But I found a bug where your speed is halved after you die the first time. I only recognized this after playing this game for the second time.

I thought I was crazy when I saw that this tool, few years later, costs money because I have this software on my old laptop and couldn't remember that I paid money for it. But now it's clear that it went from a free product to a commercial product. The price for this high quality product is fine but the thing that you can't get an old free version is somehow pity. I guess I will wait for the next sale to get it again

Thank you!

very nice! I use one of the effects in my game: https://pentixel.itch.io/roguelite-test

Thank you! This tileset was very motivating. I used it in my game https://pentixel.itch.io/roguelite-test

Thank you! I used it in my game https://pentixel.itch.io/roguelite-test

With mouse

Yeah, finally a web version 🥳

I have a bug where it freezes the game after reaching this point in the dialogue. I happened after I brought the passenger to the target and have this dialogue.

after I restarted the game this doesn't happened again but after my 3rd call the compass was leading me under the empty ground
