Never been a huge fan of the arcadey Playdate games but this rules. No wonder it’s considered a must-buy for the system

Quick break from Playdate takes — been playing a lot of @wadjeteyegames.com new game, #Nighthawks, and loving it. I wasn’t sure at first, but there’s an act 1 twist that threw me for a total loop and now I can’t get enough

Less-than-casual Birder, if you will

Of all the games on the base system to speedrun I’d expect Crankin made the most sense. The idea of a Casual Birder speedrun is, however, delightful

Addendum: reminder that S2 also came with the delightful BLIPPO+ as a “freebie” surprise, which updated as the season went on. S3 is much more conventional by comparison

Whether I think S3 is ultimately an overall hit will depend on the ratio of how many of these games we get to big hitters like Gloom Gate. If that higher cost per game is because we have some serious quality here, then I’d be delighted.

The second week one game, the one where you try to bath a frog without killing it (the name slips me) is polished and fun but much more in line with the score-chasing arcade games of S1/S2.

(I’m sure Panic themselves are fine — Big Walk did serious numbers as I understand it)

And that’s if you can find anything: as it stands, the Playdate has been out of stock for months while Panic reconfigures its suppliers. With an 8 game, $40 season, it’s hard not to wonder if we’re helping keeping cash flow non-negative for the Playdate project.

This is especially noteworthy in the current context of both the Playdate and (indie) hardware! The price of the device is up $30, many paid tariffs on it (which Panic did refund, to their credit) and shipping anything from Panic still costs as much as what you’re buying.

Critical thoughts on #Playdate season 3: So far, the games here are more ambitious than a lot of S1/S2. Gloom Gate alone blows anything I remember out of the water in scale and ambition. But it isn’t lost on me that the cost of entry to this season is unchanged, while the number of games is.

More thoughts on #GloomGate from #Playdate season 3: having learned how the 3D effect is achieved has me only more impressed. But with a few hours of play, this is also just an excellently designed game and some of the most fun I’ve had on my Playdate since getting it

This is pretty great! I’m still not sure they should tolerate the vibecoding but that’s me being really sick of AI showing up everywhere, and needing real assets is enough of a barrier to people making total garbage

Not familiar with Woah Dave, I’ll give it a look! The last two days have been Gloom Gate central over here

+1 for DRM free software And ah, so the web API only works if you’re on the Catalog (or a season game, I guess)?

Edith Maison @edithmaison.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I’ve been trying to get clarity on this: so no AI art or vibecoded games go on Catalog? I’ve been concerned that Catalog would go the way of Steam and the Nintendo eShop

If you didn’t know: Tom Cruise does his own stunts. For example, in Digger (2026), he undermines my thesis that Primetime is the media literacy test of the decade during a runtime of 129 minutes

Gloom Gate is stunningly technically impressive for the little crank console — and I love the Infinity Blade inspiration! #playdate

Seeing that now it’s increasingly just people using AI to get past the fun and interesting problems, I really don’t know what we’re even doing here. And yes, it is absolutely most repugnant on the Playdate — the scrappy little console with a crank you can make games for rather easily!

When I decided to make programming a hobby, and not my career, it was because I couldn’t imagine writing complex code for end products I didn’t care for. The indie scene on the other hand offered a place where I could learn to code games better, for projects I actually want to make.

Hey @bsky.app just checking in. Any plans for proper iPadOS support? The app is really inconvenient to use on my iPad Pro which is where I do most of my social media stuff

This sounds awesome. I remember back when the web API on the PlayDate was just for scoreboards, and even then restricted to Season (or Catalogue?) games. What software are you developing in, if you don't mind me asking?

Took the dive and bought Season 3 mostly for Sound Mind and the point and click game they showed off. Promising myself I won’t spoil things further. Maybe we’ll get some cheeky weekly reviews out of me #playdate
