Odio il Provolone — Atari Vibes #1 Jam

🎮🧀🔥

Submission for Atari Vibes #1 Jam. This game is a sort of remake of an old project I made in Game Maker when I was 13 (about 20 years ago). I liked the idea of digging up an old concept and merging it with an Atari 2600–style aesthetic.

🧀 Why this title?

I don’t know why I chose this title — “I Hate the Provolone.” I don’t and have never had any problem with provolone, or with cheese in general.

In Italian, “provolone” can also mean someone with a flirtatious or seductive personality, but at that age I didn’t even know that, so there’s no reference to it.

🕹️ About the original game

The original game was much simpler, badly programmed, and had more of a scribbly Windows XP Paint look.
