③ In DexSweeper, the cursor never stops moving. Use the crank to guide your movement, then time your tile reveals carefully--one wrong move could be your last!

I think the #playdate drop is gonna have something cool in it. Just a hunch.

Unfortunately we aren't at #gamescom. So instead here's a look at an addition for the PC version of DexSweeper (originally designed for #playdate).

Everytime you return to the menus, you'll bee welcomed by automatically generated partially revealed grids.

At first I wanted to emulate the amazing colors of the #playdate console for the PC port of DexSweeper... but then I decided to add a bunch of color schemes!

Just added a new system to inject different effects into my speech bubbles that will still be easy to localize. Do you all have nice trick and implementations you use? How do YOU do it? #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #incremental #storytelling #gamedesign #souls

Few days into the DexSweeper PC Port and wanted to share my favorite feature from the Playdate version (aside from crank controls); the Dark Mode!

We didn't anticipate so many players that had little experience with Git.

We've added a new Intro to Git mode to help onboard you in your learning process! Thanks so much for player!
