Lots of #playdate games this week. I cant wait for the results of the #playjam. Here is a screenshot from my entry!

Tonight was the end of the #playjam. I spent all weekend making CrankDat, a cookie-clicker-esque #playdate game where you use the crank to get money to buy upgrades and ,eventually, your rival’s house.

I learned a lot but I’m excited to get back to learning rust for #adventofcode

We just released our first #PlayDate game called "U.F.O. No!". It's a running/ baton race game where you escape from aliens by cranking and jumping. Check it out if you have a PlayDate or want to run it in the simulator:

Didint get round to making anything for #playjam 2 but its fun to watch more games get added as the time ticks down.
I spent some of the weekend working on #hurdygurdyPD though so youl get some #new #playdate action from me soon

Finished my #PlayJam game just in time! It’s a simple high score challenge to crank used car odometers down without cranking too fast, and end as close to 0 as you can. #playdate

Some more normal gameplay... Core game loop is there, but no art/ music yet and it probably needs more variety. Will add some QTE-style minigames and the ability to elongate your arms tomorrow

I finished my #PlayJam game! https://possiblyaxolotl.itch.io/a-deep-dive

Progress update on the #PlayDate game I'm working on this weekend:
We decided to make a running/ baton race game themed around escaping from a UFO. I've got the core game loop running, now it's time to make some more interesting gameplay elements and challenges.

I made a song for my #PlayJam game

#PlayJam 2 Starts Now!

I'm participating in the #PlayJam 2 this weekend, making a black and white game for the PlayDate console in Lua. If anyone (particularly pixel artists or programmers) are interested in collaborating, send me a DM! Happy to have more people join our small team.
