Robo Recharge (for Playdate) by damos games A simple and relaxing score chaser

Just played Robo Recharge by @damosgames.bsky.social, simple, fun, and oddly satisfying. My kids ended up cheering me on. Great little jam game, worth a try! #playdate #IndieGame #RoboRecharge

Just got a new #playdate because the previous one was "borrowed" permanently by my family.

If you're after a DIY project for your Playdate, we now have crank thumb repair kits available for order—our latest, most durable design, and quite easy to replace!

Congratulations!

Nice 👍 It looks really smooth, all the fonts I make look pixelated, I recognize the hard work.

Wow it looks amazing, I was planning to work on something similar but in Nazas Durango México, your pitch looks more developed, count me on if you need developers.

Working on a new Challenge Mode for Sudoku Time. Players will fail the level after 3 mistakes. Adding a new layer of difficulty for those looking for a tougher experience. #playdate #indiedev #indiegame

Woow count me in for play testing.

Looks good 👍, I would prefer an isometric view.

A player has officially completed all 100 levels. This is a milestone I’m proud to share. Thank you for playing and pushing the game to its limits.

Work on your game

Trying out a new tweak for Sudoku Time on #Playdate , shifting the sound rate as you play. It’s a small detail, but it helps keep each round feeling fresh and less repetitive. #indidev

POC: Crank-based grid navigation is coming to Sudoku Time in the next version (thanks @8bitbear.bsky.social )! Rotate the #Playdate crank to cycle through cells, I'll release a demo once I implement it for all the menus.

You have to make it because you want to see it exist in the world. It’s gotta annoy you a little that it doesn’t exist, and you gotta do it for yourself.

Good idea! I never thought about using it for scrolling through the number selection (1 to 9). However, that might conflict with the 'Cell Actions' when pressing the B button.
I will make a quick POC and test it.

"Why doesn’t Sudoku Time use the crank?"

I tried it for grid navigation, but it just felt clunky. Since your hands are already on the D-pad and buttons, adding the crank interrupted the flow.

I forgot I made the gamer mimic as well

Developing Sudoku Time for the #Playdate taught me a lot about designing for hardware limitations.

Balancing readable visuals on the small screen was a challenge, but I’m proud of the final result.

What do you think of the visuals? Feedback welcome!
