This is so adorable, I love the creative things people have made with this quirky little device.
Side note: Iām glad to see you are still covering the Playdate, but I am disappointed that we havenāt had a game review in over a month (not since Mars After Midenight). Itās hard to find reliable Playdate game reviews so I hope Time Extension hasnāt fully dropped Playdate reviews.
Using this as an opportunity to finally clear out my wishlist. So many of these games were already at great prices but Iām actually pretty impressed with the discounts. The best deal is probably for A Balanced Brew which is one of the best crank games available and it is on a deep discount in this sale. One that Iām looking forward to picking up is Direct Drive, which is currently the most expensive Playdate game, so the sale finally encouraged me to pull the trigger.
Having played Executive Golf DX and Fore Track, the description of Faraway Fareway as a āmental health golf gameā is very appealing. I need a golf game that doesnāt make me want to hurl my play date across the room.
Iām hooked on this game, and also really bad at this game, my top score is 17 lines (somehow managed to do this with Simon). This is the perfect game to play on my breaks at work, quick to pick up, difficult to master.
I think this game was made in Pulp, which is why everything is so small. But for a Pulp game itās absolutely beautiful. And while thereās a lot packed into the screenItās also a delightful adventure with clever puzzles. I particularly enjoyed an early puzzle that involved learning to navigate and find secret paths in a dense forest.
I love when a game has me rotate the Playdate into the vertical orientation. I havenāt found many, just this game, Heavy Trucking, and Dungeons and Doggos so far. But it is a fun change in perspective. It would be great if a shoot em up or pinball game took advantage of this.
