What Is Char on itch.io?

Updated

Char (char64.itch.io) is an itch.io creator page for a developer who publishes as Char / Charro_64. It hosts a mix of original browser games and small tools, plus a curated "Hearted Levels" section that highlights other creators' work. Most items are playable directly in the browser, so you can try them without downloading anything.

What you'll find on the page

The page is organized into a few loose groups rather than a single product:

  • Original games by Char — spanning puzzle, platformer, strategy, and racing genres.
  • Browser-playable titles — several entries carry a "Play in browser" label, meaning they run without an install.
  • Tools — small utilities and editors, listed under a "cool tools" heading.
  • Hearted Levels — a section of levels and games by other developers that Char has favorited.

Hearted Levels

This section collects games and levels by other creators that Char has hearted. It's a useful shortcut if you want to see what the developer considers good, and it doubles as a small discovery feed. Examples include:

  • Blue_Elixir — a falling-block puzzle game by Cruise Elroy
  • Uncanny Cat Golf — puzzle, by SH2K (SlappyHappy2000)
  • Annalynn '16 — platformer prototype by Cruise Elroy
  • DARK SIDE — a short look at space, by Amby
  • GIF — a ghostly dog puzzle by Picogram
  • Wigglypaint — a drawing program by Internet Janitor
  • Island Level Select Mock-Up — an interactive mock-up by crimecommitter
  • BOYZ - WORLD WIDE WEST — quick-draw action by Bahamutgreen

Tools

Under "cool tools," the page lists utilities such as:

  • Party Project Workshop — a board editor for Party Project
  • MRMOTRON — a Blender-based LCD emulation process by Mrmo Tarius
  • PNGTuber Plus — a tool for PNG tubing setups

How to use the page

  1. Open char64.itch.io in a browser.
  2. Scan the game list for a genre you like — puzzle and platformer entries are the most common.
  3. Click a title marked "Play in browser" to launch it immediately; others may require a download.
  4. Check the "Hearted Levels" section if you want recommendations rather than Char's own work.

What to expect

The page reads as a personal portfolio rather than a single storefront: a developer's own experiments alongside a hand-picked shelf of favorites. If you're looking for one specific game, search the title directly. If you're browsing, start with the browser-playable puzzle and platformer entries, since those are the most represented and the quickest to try.
