Wrote a small article about a recent UI issue we had and how we solved it amano.games/devlog/makin... #playdate #devlog

This is how battles look like in 🛡️G l o o m G a t e⚔️ #indiegame #playdate #1bit #gamedev

Developer of Season two title CatchaDiablos, AFK Mario, talks about breaking barriers on the Playdate: "It’s more like how buying and playing games used to be back in the days of the Game Boy or Super Nintendo, and that really appealed to me." 😈 butwhytho.net/2025/07/game...

Game developer AFK Mario discusses the creation of 'CatchaDiablos,' working with Playdate, and the challenges of the game dev industry in México. Read @wallyrgr.bsky.social's interview here:

A new update should be out today (1.3.0) with the new Codex screen, you still need to figure out the character yourself but we hope this will help! :)

A new version of CatchaDiablos is out! The main highlight is the new Accessibility Settings page, where you can change the starting speed of the crank and your starting health. You can read the full changelog here: amano.games/game/catchad... #playdate

Here it is—the final week of Season Two games. And it's a big one. 🕳️ Black Hole Havoc is a cinematic black-hole shooter. 🦾 Taria & Como is a physics-based platformer with a unique perspective on disability and resilience. Both of them rock. Enjoy. 🏆 play.date/s2

Excited to release a demo of Owlet's Embrace! If you own a Playdate, download it over here: strupf.itch.io/owlets-embrace I'm also moving the full release into 2026. This is allows me to realize my full vision of the game - nonlinear world, replayability, multiple bosses, fleshed out narrative!

Season Two, WEEK 5. It just keeps going! NEW today: 🐶 Chance's Lucky Escape - a point-and-click game inspired by 80s cartoons and absurdist comedy films. 🫜 Tiny Turnip - a whimsical climbing adventure built around the Playdate’s unique controls. 🫳 play.date/s2

testing/fixing #playdate quake-ish engine (some gameplay tests with a gun 😱) #indiedev

I don't think I've used the @play.date crank this much since Grand Tour Legends. CatchaDiablos by @amanogames.bsky.social is a difficult game, but with practice (and a bit luck) it's doable (I'm still a long way from 100%).

😈 Why hunt one demon when you can catch ’em all? And why make one game, when you can make two, simultaneously? @afk-mario.bsky.social + @jovenpaul.bsky.social of @amanogames.bsky.social discuss CatchaDiablos and doing things the hard way on the Playdate Podcast! 🎧podcast.play.date/episodes/s0...

Shadowgate PD is finally here! Ahhhh!! I wrote a few words about the process here: pixel-ghost.itch.io/shadowgatepd... Enjoy the game and as a first hint... "The secret thoughts of the skull can be yours!!" Have fun :-D

CatchaDiablos Is out today as part of #Playdate Season 2!! It’s Been a fantastic season so far and we’re very happy to be a part of it! Get it here: play.date/games/season...

Season Two, WEEK 4. Out today: 😈 CatchaDiablos - a tiny roguelike where you quest to capture all the Diablos stranded on a distant moon. 🐲 Shadowgate PD - reimagined Playdate version one of the most beloved point-and-click adventure games ever. ⬇️ play.date/s2

💥 Season Two is OUT NOW! Grab your Playdate and check out the games premiering today. LET'S DO THIS (You can get S2 here: play.date/s2)

24 hours to go—don't be late. 🔜 play.date/s2

I've been AWOL for a minute but I finally released a new video! This one's for the #playdate crowd 💛

Excited to announce that @play.date is joining us as a Presenting Sponsor for our Summer Game Fest Edition! And yes: this charming yellow console has got something special up their crank-powered sleeve to showcase! Tune in June 7 at 11AM PT!

@momatoes.com Hi! I made this small website to help me play magus, the game is great! magus.ellugar.co

It is time! Cattle Crisis has been just released on Itch. Thank you for sticking with me for such a long time. Enjoy! 🕹️ https://krystman.itch.io/cattle-crisis #pico8 #shmup #stg #arcade #indiedev

There's a Playdate OS/SDK update out today, 2.7.2. (Get it in Settings > System > System Update). While it doesn't have a lot of features for players, it sets the stage for a big new part of Playdate: networking. That means developers can start writing things like—that's right—multiplayer games.

⚽ despelote is OUT NOW on Steam, PlayStation 4 & 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Coming soon to Switch. A bittersweet and sometimes dreamy semi-autobiographical tale of youth taking place in 2001 Quito, Ecuador. Hecho con pasión.

Do you own a playdate and are looking for a metroidvania to play on it? After a year and a half I've finally finished Overseer🦊, a small but challenging adventure with a handful of varied bosses! It's available now on Itch! #playdate #pixelart #1bit #metroidvania

For those wondering ¿What happened to that pinball game you were making? @play.date Season 2 happened!!! And we are super proud and happy to be a part of it with a new game: CatchaDiablos! Pinball is still happening we just had to take a lil break. More about that here! amano.games/devlog/makin...

I put together a startup pack so you can follow all the developers behind @play.date season two ✌️ go.bsky.app/CwCzWnY

I'm very proud to be a part of @play.date Season 2. I think you're really going to enjoy Black Hole Havoc, which I cooked up together with Tonyo and K. I can't want for people to experience it together with the other great games in Playdate's Season 2!

That's right! We made a little game for the Playdate as part of their Season 2 bundle! Check out the video to see me chat about our game, Fulcrum Defender! Also here's a dumb ad I made.

Playdate Season 2 is a bundle of 12 creative indie games, including our new game Dig! Dig! Dino! 🦖 It's all up for pre-order now, for 39$! play.date/games/season... You get 2 games to unwrap every week, and it's such a joyful experience of discovery! So lucky to be a part of this. ✨ #gamedev
