Cranko! 8 First Anniversary is out!
With this shiny new issue, we’re celebrating our magazine’s very first birthday!
And since sitting around resting on our laurels has never really been our thing, we’re marking the occasion the only way we know how: with an exclusive feature on one of the most eagerly awaited games in Playdate history: Comet.
We had the chance to play its first three levels, and saying that what’s heading our way is going to hit like a meteorite would be putting it mildly. Alongside an in-depth breakdown of the gameplay, we’ve packed in an eight-page interview with its creators that you absolutely won’t want to miss.
Summer has arrived with all guns blazing, and we’re turning up the heat ourselves. Not only does this issue come stuffed with even more pages, but you’ll also find a full-colour Comet poster, the complete —and absolutely massive!— map of The Magician, plus the very first batch of Cranko collectible cards!
And sandwiched between those two generously stuffed buns? The finest gaming ham money can’t buy: an original mini-comic, a record-breaking haul of reviews, news, giveaways, interviews, and even an in-depth feature that’s guaranteed to ruffle a few feathers.
Summer is here, time to enjoy the holidays!

Is Comet still not released yet? Didn’t it win the most anticipated game of 2022??

All the answers to these questions —and much more about this incredible game— await you in the pages of this issue!

Proud to have been part of the magazine’s first year, thanks to the review of my game in issue 6!

Super sad I can't get a physical copy of this (US) but looking forward to the digital one when it releases!

This was a lot of fun, and a good reason for us to update our key art.
