#Playdate #PlayJam

Me & friends went for #PlayJam again and had a blast 🙌
It's becoming by favorite game jam 👾 🟨 It's better with a #playdate but not strictly necessary.

Voting for entries ends today!

Bowing out of this #PlayJam! I think I have the start of an arcade-y #Playdate flight game with satisfying controls, but didn't manage to flesh out the gameplay in time.

I'll leave you with this gif that Mastodon will almost definitely horrifically mangle into a blur of jpeg artifacts

I'm live streaming and live committing for a few hours! #gamejam #1bitjam #playjam

I'm crazy enough to be considering a twofer entry into both the 4th #PlayJam (3 days) & 2nd #1bitJam (8 days) starting tonight. Would mean a completely focussed weekend and the alignment of stars and themes. Let's see what happens.

Meanwhile I'm at the library ...ruminating.

We just released our first #PlayDate game called "U.F.O. No!". It's a running/ baton race game where you escape from aliens by cranking and jumping. Check it out if you have a PlayDate or want to run it in the simulator:

Finished my #PlayJam game just in time! It’s a simple high score challenge to use your #playdate ’s crank to roll back used car odometers down without cranking too fast, and end as close to 0 as you can.

Some more normal gameplay... Core game loop is there, but no art/ music yet and it probably needs more variety. Will add some QTE-style minigames and the ability to elongate your arms tomorrow

Progress update on the #PlayDate game I'm working on this weekend:
We decided to make a running/ baton race game themed around escaping from a UFO. I've got the core game loop running, now it's time to make some more interesting gameplay elements and challenges.

I'm participating in the #PlayJam 2 this weekend, making a black and white game for the #PlayDate console in #Lua. If anyone (particularly pixel artists or programmers) is interested in collaborating, send me a DM! Happy to have more people join our small team.
