Tips:
- Start from the right ;
- The 2 on the left are at the maximum range so you don't really need to aim ;
- Reload when no bullets left for bonus points
- Don't forget to blow on the tumbleweed for extra life!

I have procrastinated too much this repair but I did it on time to make a Mario Kart tournament at home :)

Last Playdate Catalog drop was yesterday. Congrats to all newcomers. 👏 But that means my game disappeared from the first page on the store 😭 #playdate

I'm going to print myself a silkscreen shirt tomorrow, so here is how I'm preparing for 3 colors. Hope it will work^^

Ludovic Bas @loudo.lugludum.com · 12d

Quel genre de mini jeux ?

Ludovic Bas @loudo.lugludum.com · 14d

Just added a cart with the shirt and buttons to buy my game on my website. Hope it'll convert better than simple links. www.lugludum.com/crankstone

Nice write up about the Playdate. As a gamer, it's so awesome to have a little console on your pocket ready to play various experiences anytime. As a gamedev, it's a good platform to start your developer journey. At least, it worked for me, not financially yet though, but creatively.

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-...

Take a look at this fun brand new game for PS Vita (pc version included). Made by Pikario. His presentation at the Lyon game dev meetup was hilarious. #playstation #antiai pikario.itch.io/fuck-ai

I love gamedev doing custom editor!

Nicola Cocchiaro @wildbat.bsky.social · Sep 14

One of the best parts of #gamedev is building tools that make your work (or someone else's) easier, more efficient, or just possible at all. This level editor for #AgentsOfGroove is very simple but does its job well, and was incredibly useful for iterating on all the game levels.

Synaptic Sugar @synapticsugar.games · Sep 14

You've seen how the art for #playdate game #AgentsOfGroove evolved over time, but how did the game levels come together?

We made a simple visual editor to make the process a lot easier, especially for long levels like this one. This is what it looks like!

That's what I did in my previous update. Thankfully, this one happens only when you finish the game. 😀 Now it's fixed! 💪 Proper testing is the key, but easily missable when you forget all the usages of the line of code you are modifying.
