I find the inclusion of Shift VERY APPEALING.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

I wanted to playtest the platforming on my playdate prototype and so I created a small sandbox area totally not inspired by any other game 👀

😳👀🤯

I think about Stars of the Screen more than I think about any other Playdate game. Go in knowing nothing about it.

Inquiring minds want to know…

GOTY material. If you give this a go, share your thoughts!!!

Truly the most stupid timeline. At a point in time where renewable energy has tipped into genuine widespread viability, capital invents whole new ways to fabricate waste and scarcity.

This is where you'll find the previously mentioned video game in the video game, by the way. #playdate

So happy to hear more about you!

@mikesuszek.bsky.social Happy birthday! 🎉🎉
