• Playing web games in android?

  Many of the games under the category of “web” on itch io arent mobile or browser friendly. The exceptions are the pico 8 games and the few developers that take the time to make proper browser bindings and use supported webgl. If they dont inherintly make it run with wasm, try this https://itch.io/app. Source: about 3 years ago

• Story driven games for a 12 hour flight that won’t destroy the battery in 90 minutes? 😂

  I've installed the Itch.io client in desktop mode and use it to get/buy cheap but highly rated Visual Novel games. Most of them are RenPy games that run natively on linux. If you add them to desktop mode and there aren't much animation, RenPy on the Steam Deck automatically clocks down and runs these mostly static games in 5FPS. They basically don't use power, except for the power the screen needs. Source: over 3 years ago

  I did this in another Linux machine and it worked fine. You could also try this. 1. Download and install the Linux Itch App Https://itch.io/app 2. Install Crosscode through the Itch App. I think it's usually Linux 64 version. 3. Add Crosscode launcher to steam as any other game, rename, Boilr for images and such. Source: over 3 years ago

• My Ultimate Steam Deck guide after being able to use it for about a month

  Itcho.io has a desktop app that is available for Linux. It is a convenient way to access and install games from your itch.io library, but as of the writing of this guide, it doesn't seem possible to launch the app from within SteamOS. Attempting to do so with result in it loading for a while before closing without any sort of error message. Source: over 3 years ago

• Better way to itch.io on Steam Deck

  Remember that itch.io/app doesn't add your games to library if you didn't buy them directly, but got them in a bundle. To get them to show you need to find the game(can be done in the app), and above the game description click "Download" button. It will add the game to the library, and then you can install it trough the app. To find your games from bigger bundles you can use https://randombundlegame.com/. Source: almost 4 years ago
