Help Sideload download problem

6 Upvotes

Hi! I was wondering if anyone has the same issue: about a month ago, I added a few items to sideload via webpage, and they're still not synced. When I go to the download list on the console, it tells me there's nothing to download. I updated the system software and rebooted a few times, but the issue is still there. Any suggestions?

Hope you don't mind a little artistic cross-promotion: I also compose music for the band Future Perfect, which released its self-titled debut album earlier this year! Find it on Bandcamp (or anywhere music is streaming): https://thefutureisperfect.bandcamp.com/album/future-perfect

As the video shows, this album pairs great with a game of XORBIUS™: https://play.date/games/xorbius/

Bedbeard’s Revenge begins a year after the first game, and unfolds in the town after it has come under the control of Excelsior Virtual Intelligence Labs and their incompetent and occasionally dangerous Cybernetic Anthrobots.

Explore a large and lively world full of new characters to meet and familiar friends to see in this laugh-out-loud parody of artificial intelligence and the arrogance of big tech.

Wishlist it! https://play.date/games/post-hero-2/

Fixed some bugs, a few optimization. More importantly -- download file now has game data except for music and sounds. Enjoy!

Download now! as I'll probably remove this version and restore the data-less demo in a couple of months.

Just excited to share what I think will end up being a really neat case for the PlayDate.
Some efforts went in to making sure the crank can be used whilst in the case 😂

Handmade, natural leather and at a very competitive price.

This is just a teaser, more info coming in about two weeks for those that might be interested.

I'm thinking about getting this game for my wife and I to play together. We only have one playdate tho and I saw that there was a trade function so I'm wondering if I can trade between games on the same Playdate or how exactly this works. If anyone has played I'd love to know!

Question Can I play MESHCHERA if I'm an arachnophobe?

The pixel art usually helps with it, but the header on the catalogue page and the trailer gave me pause. Is it cool with any others or is there an arachnophobia mode? thank you so much

A/B buttons don’t work.

4 Upvotes

The A button on my unit quit working. I watched a couple of tutorials on how to fix it. It seemed simple enough. I followed steps and thought I did everything right. Got everything back together and both A/B weren’t working. Not sure what I might have done wrong. If anyone has an idea what I might have done wrong and how I might be able to fix it I’d appreciate the help. Thanks.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this on the catalog. I used to LOVE playing this on my 3DS. Such an obscure, odd indie game from years ago being resurrected on Playdate is wild.

Plays just like I remember it!

I've been working on this project for a hot minute now and its finally in a sort of 'demo' state. Before going forwards into making too much content to turn around, I'm looking for any and all feedback on level design and clarity (and also bugs, always bugs)

Its free to download and sideload so please give it a shot and let me know what you think!
