"It is a BIG undertaking for a first game, and it’s dripping in style in a way that most Playdate games (hey, maybe most games) cannot manage." 😮

Thank you for the kind words about Agents of Groove, @thegamellama.bsky.social and #playdate Unofficial!

We believe #accessibility to be important to allow people to enjoy videogames. Rhythm games and the @play.date controls can present unique challenges, so we designed #AgentsOfGroove to be fairly relaxed, and implemented features to tailor the experience further 🧵

A portrait of Daley Bellbottoms, a friendly-looking man with a big head of curly hair, glasses and thick sideburns and mustache. Some chest hair pokes through the open collar of his shirt. A dialog card on the right side of the portrait reads: I've been doing this for a long time, with Mel's help of course!

Let's start a series about the characters of #AgentsOfGroove! And who best to start with than Daley Bellbottoms, legendary undercover dancer and Rhythm wrangler of secret organization G.R.O.O.V.E.? 🪩

We showed some of this before, but I think it's one of the best examples to show how far the art for Agents of Groove has come. The rest of the game has too, and it's crazy to think it may be finally coming to #playdate .

Actually you know what, I found my situation is going to be worse than I ever anticipated, so while I'll leave this thing at the same time I'll entirely focus on finding a job before September, because things are looking grim and I can't see the light at the end of this tunnel

Much polish and many additions went into #AgentsOfGroove for #playdate in the last few months. For example, here's an updated version of the Cat and Fox Club location. New look, same perfect cover for a hidden base for the secret dancers of G.R.O.O.V.E.!

Good morning. You are still here. Do something kind for someone you love today--and if you can, for someone else in your community, even if they're a stranger. We're in this together. ❤️

Daley's office, deep inside G.R.O.O.V.E. facility 34A7, is the ideal place for training new #AgentsOfGroove in the ways of rhythm and H.Y.P.E. equipment. Here's a peek at one of the early game tutorials! 🕺
