This is the thirtieth entry in the Scratching That Itch series, wherein I randomly select and write about one of the 1741 games and game-related things included in the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality. The Bundle raised $8,149,829.66 split evenly between the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund and Community Bail Fund, but don’t worry if you missed it. There are plenty of ways you can help support the vital cause of racial justice; try here for a start. Lastly, as always, you may click on images to view larger versions.
Our next random selection from the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality is From Orbit, by Tentacle Head Games. Its tagline in the bundle reads:
A quick and light single player Action RTS.
For those unfamiliar, RTS stands for real-time strategy, a genre whose most famous game is likely Starcraft. Players in these games direct different units to fight or build or harvest resources on the map, all in real time rather than turn-based fashion. I don’t have much experience playing RTS games as I found them intimidating when I was younger, so “quick and light” sounds perfect!
