Been working on this little game for a few months, wanted to share! I don't have my preorder yet so I've been having friends test it on device. The crank is neat!

In case you don't know what a playdate is:

Group 4! So only got it relatively recently, but it was well worth it.

What group are you in?

5, but 56k. The group is supposed to start shipping soon, so by this fall I’m hoping 🤞

Stay strong! Really hoping the hardware change they made for Group 4 lets the shipments start flying. It's such a cool device and well worth the praise, but boy has the wait been painful.

They said they were sometimes shipping 400 units a day during group 4, I think it’s helped a lot! Hopefully my wait will only be 7-8 months 🥲
