If you like Bitsy, check out Playdate’s take on it, Pulp.

I played few on itch.io but it seems like most of these are more interactive poems/stories than games? Does anyone have any recs of some bitsies with more traditional game elements?

Here's a traditional game[0] made with Mosi (a Bitsy clone/tribute) but I wouldn't recommend it[1].

[1] There's a lot of in-jokes and tbh, I've forgotten half of them in the intervening time.

The games are very nice. I love pixel art. Its really nice to see all these retro elements. Kinda looks like a arcade game.

it's possible I'm stating the obvious for this crowd, but if people like this, you will probably also appreciate Pico-8 [1]

There are some lovely games made by Bitsy. They are both refreshing and retro at the same time.

made a game in bitsy last summer, fun little engine. a little frustrating to do large works with lots of text or features
