hello! i'm in this nice steam bundle featuring a whole bunch of #playdate games who've jumped to PC! featuring: • HEXA • blippo+ • office chair curling • suborbital salvage • ratcheteer DX 10% off, and you can "complete the set" if you already own some of it: store.steampowered.com/bundle/74997...
Key art for the "Beyond The Crank" Steam bundle. On a solid yellow background, the text "BEYOND THE CRANK" is displayed in bold black lettering. There's an Animorphs-esque transformation sequence where a pure-black, square pixel turns into a detailed, glossy purple ball.

I've stepped away from #indiedev for bit to recover creatively from #SuborbitalSalvage. However, on the side I've been working on a little collaboration that just went live today: a #Steam bundle full of awesome #Playdate games! store.steampowered.com/bundle/74997...

I used this as an opportunity to properly dive into learning #Godot and I can see why its been so popular. Had a couple moments where I was searching "like X in Unity but in Godot" but otherwise found it pretty intuitive!

Playbit definitely needs some TLC, which I'm hoping to get to once the launch dust settles. Suborbital used a very small subset of the Playdate API so it may not be as usable for others at the moment!

- HERE FISHY FISHY: Fly in the fish’s mouth for 7 seconds

- ???: Collect a total of 10000 salvage
