How to Browse EmptyButtons' Projects on itch.io

Updated

Open emptybuttons.itch.io to reach the EmptyButtons community profile on itch.io. The page lists each published project as a title card you can click, and the footer identifies the site as an "itch.io · Community profile." From there you can open any project's detail page directly.

What the Profile Page Shows

The profile is a project index rather than a single game page. Each entry pairs a title with a short description of what it is and, in several cases, the jam it was made for. The listing visible on the page includes:

Project Description on the page Tag shown
ProtectThePumpkins A game made for Godot Wild Jam 62 —
Nutcracker 64 A JRPG made for the 32bit Holiday Jam 2021 Role Playing
BeeQuest A JRPG game made for the 32bit game jam Role Playing
Map Generator A tool for generating cave like maps —
Caves of Arengium — Adventure
Psyching Out That Bear — —

The mix matters if you are looking for something specific: two entries are jam-built JRPGs, one is a Godot jam game, one is a utility tool rather than a game, and the remaining two are listed without a jam note.

Steps to Reach a Specific Project

  1. Go to emptybuttons.itch.io in a browser.
  2. Scan the project cards under the EmptyButtons heading.
  3. Click the title of the project you want — for example, Map Generator if you need the cave-map tool, or Nutcracker 64 for the holiday-jam JRPG.
  4. The project's own itch.io page opens, where download or play options live.

If you don't have the direct URL, search "EmptyButtons" on itch.io and pick the community profile result; the profile page is the reliable entry point to all listed projects.

Common Snags

  • Confusing the profile with a game page. The profile only indexes projects. If a title looks like a game but opens a page with no play button, check whether it is the tool entry (Map Generator) rather than a game.
  • Jam context missing. Some cards note the jam (Godot Wild Jam 62, 32bit Holiday Jam 2021, 32bit game jam); others don't. Don't assume an unlabeled project is unfinished — the page simply doesn't state a jam for it.
  • Similar names. Nutcracker 64 and BeeQuest are both tagged Role Playing, so confirm the title before downloading.

The page itself does not state pricing or login requirements for individual projects, so check each project page for those details.
