A New Playdate Update Showcase Takes Place This Month

i have to be honest, 199 is alot of money for me, but i would be sorely tempted at 99.

if i could get the exact same thing for 99, but it didnt have the little crank, id jump on it next paycheck. i know the crank is the whole "thing" with this, but its not the draw for me.

edit - is there a hurdy gurdy sim on here yet? how about a farm sim where you fish, churn butter, and other farm type activities with the crank? thatd be cool. 👍

I have this and it's totally frivolous and yes too expensive but I still really love it

All these articles are selling playdates for them, ask them for an affiliate coupon code for 35 bucks off or something.

I still think that a backlight would help me come to terms with the price. But when I think it through, this is maybe not yet enough...

Awwww. No hardware news??? I wonder if they’ve abandoned the stereo dock altogether.

@-wc- After trying to rate the games in another post, I realized the best crank games are the games that ONLY use the crank (or maybe crank and one button). It’s the difference between playing arkanoid with the knob vs a joystick. Knob is just a much better experience for it. Not trying to sell you on it because it’s still a relatively high price, but the crank provides a great experience when implemented properly.
