Ported a game to Playdate! Flappybalt by @ADAMATOMIC, one of my favourite Flappybird-likes now playable in 1-bit glory https://t.co/K90W5golJV (free). Like the original this Playdate version is #opensource read my spaghetti: https://t.co/ZvxPo8oAG7 #gamedev #Lua #1bit

Absolutely love creating Slice of Mallow graphic novels, and a dream come. I have an awesome team behind the scenes helping and I can't thank them enough. Looking at you Erinn, Maria, Nic and the team at Andrews McMeel Publishing. It's avaliable soon, pre-order now ;)

For #screenshotsaturday I wanted to share my initial work on an upcoming @playdate game, "Enjoy Your Stay" (working title). It's a hotel front-desk management game where organisation of your Rolodex will be key. #gamedev #1bit #IndieDevs #lua

Hey @brintown, hope you don't mind but I took your impractical watch concept and turned it into the charging screen for my @playdate. I think a peg board of month X week and another for day; we'll have a full calendar 🤣 #Lua

[TheGameLlama @TheGameLlama]

Beat my top score if you can!

@UncrankdPD @playdate Heck yes!

[Tom Rhodes 👨‍💻 @tomrhodesdev]

Sadly, but not unexpectedly, my legally distinct Suika Game clone for @playdate was not accepted into Catalog. @itchio will be its forever home with all updates going there 😊 https://t.co/zN10dn8ov3

New @playdate game release! Orbit Angler, a FREE game about balancing throw angle, gravity and a small jetpack to help an Anglerfish fulfil a dream of being an astronaut. Surprisingly addictive 🐟https://t.co/ogtWI99ZLX #playdate #lua #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

It's #screenshotsaturday! Here's a gif of a game I'm working on for #fishfest game jam by @PossiblyAxolotl: Orbit Angler! It's for @playdate, it's fun, and my max orbits so far is 6. #lua #IndieDevs #gamedev

Updated my Legally Distinct Suika Game Clone for @playdate to improve performance, improve physics, add a dynamic background that moves with the crank, and a little easter egg in the credits :) https://t.co/zN10dn8ov3 #gamedev #lua #indiedev #PlayDate

A crank controlled, polygon drawn skipping rope on @playdate. This feels like the basis for a pretty cool Clicker game on the system. #playdate #1bit #gamedev #indiedev

[Tom Rhodes 👨‍💻 @tomrhodesdev]

The art is all over the place, but the gameplay is fun! Still a lot to implement but this has a kind of challenge vibe, thinking of total number of orbits being a score multiplier? @playdate #screenshotsaturday #lua #gamedev #indiedev

[Tom Rhodes 👨‍💻 @tomrhodesdev]

A @playdate game about yeeting something you hate into orbit, initial speed built with crank, not animated yet - there's a booster on the box. #playdate #gamedev #indiedev

[Tom Rhodes 👨‍💻 @tomrhodesdev]

@TheIndieManiac A legally distinct clone of Suika Game, for the #playdate

https://t.co/zN10dn8ov3

[Tom Rhodes 👨‍💻 @tomrhodesdev]

@raqsegal @playdate Glad you're enjoying it! :)

[Tom Rhodes 👨‍💻 @tomrhodesdev]

I'm planning on building 12 games in 12 months for @playdate - read about it here: https://t.co/W5WDWSlAun

Want to check out the game for March 2024? It's a Suika Game clone for Playdate! https://t.co/zN10dn8ov3

Line-rider on @playdate? Maybe! Early experiments are looking good :) #playdate #Lua #gamedev

[Tom Rhodes 👨‍💻 @tomrhodesdev]

With the crank and everything, I feel like a decent Bingo game could be fun on @playdate, maybe mix it up and make things go all weird #balatro styleeeee.

[Tom Rhodes 👨‍💻 @tomrhodesdev]

Suika Game (kind-of) on Playdate now! https://t.co/zN10dn8ov3

Is it original? Nope. Is it on Playdate? Yep!

So I got a #playdate recently, and honestly I'm in love! Started some dev work and nearly ready to release my Legally Distinct #Suika Clone on @itchio! @playdate #gamedev #indiedev
