Love this game!

Simple yet very engaging and responsive

I urge you to consider putting this on Catalog. I think plenty of folks would pay $1 for this

Nice—a simple high-score arcade game that suits the Playdate well.

is this game dead?

Don't know if I would consider it "dead" or "alive". It's a small, finished game. I made it as a fun learning project without the intention of coming back to it hence it being free.

I hear ya. I ask because I thought in the video you said you’d add more things to it. I guess not?

Ah yeah changed my mind on it with the second devlog because of scope creep.

oh ok

This game is a really uplifting, fun, arcade-y vibe!!  It is one of the top 5 PlayDate sideloaded games IMO and is essential to own!! 

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Really addicting gameplay and I love how the "zap" actually feels. The physics also feel responsive -- I was able to make some impressive turns in my short journey. 

Really enjoying the games you have made up to this point!

Enjoying your playthroughs as well! Thanks for playing!

This is one of my favorite games for Playdate. And it's such a great demo of using the crank with absolute positioning. Really impressive work!

Thanks for playing!!
