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].[0]

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

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
