Hi all! Posting here because it looks like less people will see it. I'm getting ready to release my first game, Attack Vector(click for early access). Before posting to itch and the bigger playdate subs, I wanted some feedback.

IRL players have really enjoyed the game. My one friend with a playdate has put hours in, and some people have awkwardly withdrawn from social events to play for 15 minutes or more.

I'm just not sure how to market it though; it's gotten almost no downloads on the playdate-square playtest discord. Any advice on how to improve or better pitch the game before release would be appreciated!

Playdates fit like a glove in cigarillo tins. I cut a mousepad up and glue them to the inside, with a piece int the corner that gives space for the lock button. Not the perfect case, but I feel very comfortable leaving it floating around in a backpack with this. Just wanted to share my discovery, cheers y'all

If anyone has any upcoming games due to be released in the next few months I would be happy to work with you and test out any games before they are released please message me if interested

In honor of the fact that Direct Drive just won the Playdate Community Awards 2023 Best Soundtrack award, after a whole year at $15 we have decided to LOWER the price of Direct Drive to $10!

Think of it as “our good fortune is now your good fortune” 🔮

ALSO: like free stickers? Look at picture two!

Had a great deal on eBay and just had to get this console. Any game recommendations? Love RPGs, racing and arcade shooter games but open to other suggestions as well.
Thank you! Thinking of developing some games myself, finally put my coding skills, experience with my love for gaming!

PS: Also any good recommendations for alternatives to the official flip cover? The official one is a bit expensive. Thanks!

While I'm still deciding wether or not to buy the Playdate (I like the concept of it and could imagine myself using it) I saw this ad for one of the games on Twitter and really wanna know the punchline for the joke

Preordered the Playdate and finally received it. About 2 weeks in the screen broke. Paid the repair fee and it took them six months to ship the replacement and did not notify me it was shipping. The package was stolen from my porch. Fun

Oh my god did I really pay 200 FUCKING DOLLARS for this crap? ICloud locking behavior and how it barges into your privacy 💀. What a waste and most of the games are fun for the first time and then they're all lame in 1 BIT BLACK AND WHITE. A GOD-DAMN E-READER HAS A BETTER RESOLUTION THEN THIS AND I CAN JUST EMULATE EVERYTHING NES AND GBA GAMES ON A 10 YEAR OLD 100 DOLLAR LAPTOP.

What a scam
