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%).
