Go wishlist Turnip Mountain on Steam!
It's not in the Next Fest or anything, but it would make me happy, so that's good enough of a reason 💓
The demo's still up, you can bash it out in 10 minutes and it's co-op if you want to suffer with a friend!

'Turnip Mountain feels like a looser, wackier version of Jusant, where sometimes the solution to a climbing puzzle is just flinging yourself toward another wall as hard as you can and hoping for the best.'

Thanks @inverse.com for the shout out!!

So far I'm loving the swinging and clambering in Turnip Mountain, merging precision play with arcadey vibes! @lukesanderson.bsky.social

Turnip Mountain tasks you to ascend tricky climbing paths as a root vegetable with grabby hands

🍓Folks keep mistaking our lovely turnip for a strawberry... so I added a strawberry palette to the game. Yummy!

🤫The good thing about working at a low resolution is that you can make a rubbish model and no one will ever know!!

Merci @lukesanderson.bsky.social pour cette magnifique aventure @play.date , si on m'avait dit que je m'amuserais autant avec un navet qui fait de l'escalade, je n'y aurais jamais cru ! 🧗🥕

Mécaniques, level design et courbe de progression au top ! Que demander de plus 😊

It just jump forwards/backwards, you can’t really tell that it all gets misaligned since the camera movement sort of covers it up

Map screen improvements 🗺️

Fun fact: this isn't a 3D model in engine - it's a huge animation that I scrub through to move between levels. Neat!

This is a *fantastic* game from @play.date Season 2. 15 minutes into it and it's already pulled itself up to my top 3 Playdate games.

I just played 30-40 minutes of this and I went from "oh haha what a cute idea this will be fun for a few minutes" to "oh this is the best game on the Playdate..."
Turnip, climbing Celeste. It's phenomenal. (and the music if GREAT!)
