Soooooo I got some super duper mega fancy animations for some of my one-card microgames all working and polished on itchio! 😱 🤯 🤩 🥰 The cards now FLIP OVER when you hover your mouse on them on my itchio pages! I'm so proud and excited that I got them working, and to show you all here! 😊
I also think that it's the second or third instance of dynamic, interactive animated content I've ever seen on itchio other than embedded or linked videos or GIF images! It just doesn't seem to be very common at all on itchio, from what I've seen.
It took me DAYS to get the interaction working properly for the first card... 🫠 But then mere hours to do all of the other three together! And now that I have a pretty solid process working, it'll take me even less time to add this interactivity to my other games, too! So, I'll be adding similar previews to as many of my other games on itchio as I can. Stay tuned for that! 😎
In short, I manually wrote the HTML of the pages and used CSS to animate the card flips. I am more than happy to talk with people about how I got this working if you're keen to know. Just hit me up in a chat-worthy place! 😊
If you're keen to check them out yourselves, pop over to one of these pages of mine linked below, and simply hover your mouse over the card to flip it over! (Or, if you're using a touch-screen, tap on the card to flip it over, then tap somewhere off the card to flip it back.)

Please share any feedback you have with me as I am more than happy to receive it, and it'll surely help me improve the pages and animation further than I could by myself.
