Well it's kind of a "gray zone" but nope. It states the distribution IN another medium, no on it's own. Also there is no other license on itch.io as far as I can understand the legal term that would allow to use materials inside a commercial project a.k.a. a game. Without restricting or even prevent the use of the assets.
No, It was made as part of free culture with aim to allow people to share the work freely. License allow redistribution in any form even itself

Alright, then there is no license available on itch.io that guarantees people can use assets in their games without breaking a license? I updated the pages to all rights reserved. But put in a license. TXT that grants usage for commercial projects as long as conditions are applied.
I am not sure that understood you. CC-BY4 allow "any" usage of material commercial or not and allow redistribution in "any" form but requires proper credits...
What do you mean when you say "... games without breaking a license?"? I am not sure that I understand where "license breaking"...
Your aim is too allow people use your asset in commercial projects? CC-BY4 allows it.
Your aim is too allow people use your asset in commercial projects but prohibit reselling on it is own? You need custom license.
I am not absolutely sure that I understood you... All the CC licensesexcept those have "NC" part are allowed to use in commercial projects. All CC licenses allow redistribution but NC licenses prohibit reselling (commercial redistribution) but it also prohibits use in commercial game...
Yes, so all CC Licenses allow reselling. Except NC, which prohibits commercial use. So there is no license available that:1. prohibits reselling and 2. allow use in commercial projects at the same time. so none of the available licenses on itch.io actually work for providing assets for a commercial game.

For the reselling there would be the share alike version with contribution.
BY-SA version differs from BY only by "copyleft" (requires to share derivatives under the same license)

Sorry but that won’t be fair for those who bought this for their projects.
