I made a game in a day


10 years ago I made a web game called Bender. It was powered by CSS transitions and a little bit of JavaScript. It was fun to make and devilishly addictive.

Since I started spending more time on itch.io managing my Playdate games, I’d been seeing a lot more of that old game in my list of projects.

Fridays are the day I devote to making Playdate prototypes and I thought it would be fun to make a version of Bender for Playdate.

I made it from memory, not looking at any of the old code, and it came together pretty quickly. So much so that I decided to see if I could push on through and release it the same day. The code is pretty sloppy but I figure it was worth it.

Whilst this game was made in a day, the design took a lot longer.

Here’s the result! Have fun.
