Crankstone - Mini games improvement and Pixel perfect on Steam Deck - Steam News
This summer I've improved all 6 current mini games to make them funnier. I'm focusing now on the PC version, and I change the base resolution to support pixel perfect scaling.

New challenge in Crankstone! Try to reach the highest score playing all mini games randomly. Also, the Shufflin' mini games has been improved. Can you reach level 30? #playdate

Yes! Exactly!

Ludovic Bas | Wishlist Crankstone 🤠 @loudo.lugludum.com · 23/09/2026
It's interesting to note that older games compiled with older SDK don't need permission so they don't need an update.

Ludovic Bas | Wishlist Crankstone 🤠 @loudo.lugludum.com · 23/09/2026
I've also added an alternative to the microphone. I've decided that it will be pressing B 3 times so the execution time is similar between the microphone control and the button control.

Ludovic Bas | Wishlist Crankstone 🤠 @loudo.lugludum.com · 23/09/2026
New update fixes the microphone. Looks like Panic introduced a permission I wasn't heard of. I feel that this update should has been treated as a breaking change and not as a silent update in the SDK. Also, I'm not even recording, I'm just using the input level.
version 1.10.1: added microphone permission and alternative control for microphone (pressing B 3 times)

A LOT of game trailers would do well to slow their editing the heck down—especially when the game has some new mechanic (as opposed to a saturated genre like action rogue-like). So many trailers move along so quickly the gameplay doesn't have time to breathe! Here's what a difference it can make:

Big improvement in Crankstone! 💪 As I'm working on the new PC version, I'm reworking the mini games so they will be longer and more fun!!! This is coming this week on Catalog and already uploaded on Itch. Also it's currently on sale! 4$ off until saturday. play.date/games/cranks... #playdate
Crankstone changelog 1.9 screenshot: better leveling for Sip n' Spin, Track'em and Duel. These mini games should have more diversity and a better progression. Try to reach the level 30!
add some time to the Kinetoscope, and the target frame should be closer to the starting frame in the lowest levels.
fix a possible exploit bug in Track'em
added some sound design in Sip n' Spin and Top Die
add 20 new achievements!
now the level of the mini game is saved with the score (saloon screens)
