What is Big Bad Waffle on itch.io?

Updated

Big Bad Waffle is an itch.io creator profile for the developer behind Isleward, a browser-playable "Roguelike-MMO with Crossplay." The page hosts the free-to-play Isleward game alongside a set of paid cosmetic and supporter packs, plus two smaller browser games, Inky's Revenge and Cubby Crypt. It also links out to the official Isleward site (isleward.com) and the @PlayIsleward social handle.

What the page offers

The profile mixes three kinds of content:

  • A playable main game — Isleward, tagged Role Playing and marked "Play in browser."
  • Paid add-on packs — cosmetic skins, currency bundles, and supporter packs for Isleward.
  • Smaller standalone games — Inky's Revenge (Action) and Cubby Crypt (Puzzle), both playable in the browser.

Prices are as listed on the page at the time of writing; the page itself doesn't describe what each pack contains beyond its name, so check the individual item pages before buying.

The two smaller games

  • Inky's Revenge — described as "a repolished Ludum Dare 33 game: outsmart the hunter, shift the maze, and reclaim all 11 floors." Tagged Action, playable in browser.
  • Cubby Crypt — described as "line-builder meets dungeon builder." Tagged Puzzle, playable in browser.

How to use the page

  1. Open bigbadwaffle.itch.io in a browser.
  2. To try the main game, select Isleward and choose "Play in browser" — no download step is shown on the profile.
  3. To browse add-ons, scroll the item list and open any pack to see its details and price.
  4. For the official game site and updates, use the www.isleward.com link or follow @PlayIsleward from the profile.

Who it's for

This page is most useful if you want to try Isleward without installing anything, or if you already play it and want cosmetic skins, Seafarer's Marks, or seasonal supporter packs. If you're looking for a large catalog of unrelated indie games, note that the profile is small and centered on one main title plus two jam-style browser games.

One thing the page doesn't clarify: whether the base Isleward game is free. The profile lists prices only for the packs, so confirm the game's cost on its own item page or at isleward.com before assuming it's free.
