Playdate is the little yellow console with a crank—but no, the crank doesn't charge it. A crank-charged Playdate would be heavy, slow to recharge, and no fun to play. This sticker answers it once and for all. 📵 cottonbureau.com/p/CBBS9X

4 incredible new games just landed in the Catalog shop, check them out and enjoy!!! play.date/games 💫

Blippo+ is a handcrafted TV-channel surfing game from a past that never existed. L.A.-based actors, comedians and artists collaborated to direct and film hours of footage. A joy to interview @theuniverse.bsky.social, one of its creators, whose career is studded with bright jewels like these.

from peedee to PC... HEXA is now available on windows, macOS and linux!! #indie a hand-ported version of the really good hexagon-based puzzle game for #playdate, brought into the wonderful #love2d engine, with features like COLOR! and RUMBLE!?!? ⬇️ hundreds already love it, and now you can too. ⬇️

I don't go anywhere without this little yellow game console. @play.date #playdate

Grab your Playdate and crank on over to Catalog (or visit play.date/games), 5 new games have just landed!

With almost laughably low power, a monochrome screen, and unique controls, niche-micro console Playdate shouldn't make any sense in a world of modern gaming. Yet, it's near impossible not to love it. www.wired.com/story/three-...

My deep dive retrospective on @play.date at three years old, over @wired.com - from getting started to the current development scene of this quirky handheld! Thanks to developers @synapticsugar.games, @raphcal.bsky.social, and @loudo.lugludum.com for their contributions!

📡⚡️🎵The Blippo+ OST lands next week! There's no better way to 𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗕𝗘𝗡𝗧 than tuning in, turning on, and tripping out to 137 tracks of total TV tuneage. Featuring theme songs, system music, and every hit track featured on CH49's Party Music Nonstop. Pre-order now: yacht.bandcamp.com/album/blippo...

Like every business, Panic has a curated, themed playlist that plays in our lobby, emanating office-parkily from a weird rock speaker. The vibe goal? 80's-corporate, EPCOT center, inspirational slideshow of Apple II quarterly results, slight unease/discomfort, and personal computer optimism.

💡🔬🎮 Playdate brings game design into education! The Playdate handheld console has made a big splash in indie gaming. It can do the same in your classroom! • Easy to create games for, whether students can program or not • Learning-by-doing at its very best • For elementary to grad school students

Playdate developer Julie Bjørnskov has a new game coming out on Steam—check out Escape the Baby Alarm, and wishlist it! 💛 👶 store.steampowered.com/app/3723710/

NEW in the 🛍️Playdate Shop: Embroidered Keychains! Bright yellow with 3 Playdate moods and a key ring to attach to your bag or outfit or luggage or car keys or belt loop or lanyard or pup?! The choice is yours!! 🛒 play.date/shop/embroi...

A minor update to my #Playdate game "Sound Mind" that's still hugely satisfying: I finally replaced the placeholder animations for the bookcases. Keen-eyed viewers will notice that the secret passages create a space that doesn't make sense, but that's okay because the game doesn't make sense.

Monster Elevator for @play.date joellestuff.itch.io Super fun concept and plays well on the PD Cabinet! Going to try to show off interesting games on the arcade from time to time. Have long felt it should be put to use showcasing unique titles on the system. #arcade #playdate #indiedev

🔲 Four Corners was rewritten in Swift—it's the first Swift game in Catalog. Read our interview with the developer to find out how that came about: news.play.date/news/four-co...
