Multiple Game Formats on Itch?

If you are uploading a single html file to be played in the browser (such as a Twine or Adventuron game), the file does not have to be named index.html. It can be named anything, but use all lower case with hyphens separating words.

If uploading multiple files inside a zip file, the file to be run must be named index.html.

I’m not quite sure how this would be useful. I’ve uploaded a couple of z-code games that are played in the browser using Parchment and I haven’t selected this option, but I still get vertical scrollbars. This might be because I have used Click to launch in full screen. itch then opens this to fill the browser window (not the screen), which is much better than full screen anyway. (Adventuron does open in full screen, but that might just be how Adventuron is configured to work.) You probably only need the Enable scrollbars option if you’ve opted to use Embed in page, but this option sort of sucks anyway.
