The Itchio bundel for racial justice and Equality ends in about 12 hours

https://itch.io/b/520/bundle-for-racial-justice-and-equality

This bundle is $5 and comes with over 1,500 items. Games, Tabletop instruction manuals, development resources, like 30 visual novel dating sims. And tons of other things.

Since there’s so many things, I’ve gone through a LOT of them to pick the best ones that should interest people. None of the experimental/visual novel games/resources/tabletop stuff will be on this list. And no, this list isn’t complete. I was going to finish it but then I saw the remaining time and decided to make the post early.

Below is the readme to make this post not unbearably long.

It’s a shmup.  - Bit Rat: Singularity  - Master Spy: stealth Platformer with Ninja Gaiden cutscenes.  - Gun Rounds: Cutie Patootie turn based shoot game  - Mable & The Wood: Shape shifting girl cannot lift sword, so she lets it come to her instead.  - Overland: XCOM but Oregon Trail  - BEACON: Twin stick roguelike with a cool mutation system  - Haque: pronounced “Hack”  - Hyperspace Dogfights: Luftraser 2  - EAT GIRL: Mrs. Pac-Man horror story  - Butterflies: JET SET RADIOOOOOOOOOO  - Hair Dash: One Finger Death Punch But Cooler  - Ganbare!

ur mutation stuff looks rad as hell!! what's the deal w/ inverted? :o

it’s really simple, honestly: it’s the mutant base colour and then the direct inverse of that colour [i used mspaint to get those colours]
