Our take on Itsy
Itsy trades broader campaign scope for a compact narrative and repeatable climb. The split between story progression and score-focused endless play gives the game two purposes, but neither mode is built around a large set of locations, quests, or systems.
What is Itsy?
Itsy is a narrative climbing game inspired by healing from Autism-burnout.
Story Mode follows the Itsy Bitsy Spider and can save dialogue and visibility progress automatically. Story can also be switched off. Endless Mode removes autosaving, dialogue, and visibility progression for repeated climbs and leaderboard attempts. Players can compete on separate rankings for distance and Sky-Raisin points. The game includes a red-green colour-blindness option and a hold-down-click control alternative to rapid clicking during swimming. Its structure supports a short story-focused playthrough or open-ended score chasing, with progress and mode behavior differing between the two options.
