Very addictive and perfectly realised with the crank. Amazing job! My only quibble is that I wish it had music, but it's a game I go back to often.
My worry is the music will get repetitive. I’ll consider it! Thanks for playing and for commenting.
This game is hypnotizing! It is amazing -- it is everything! Worth every penny!!! IMO it is in the top 3 sideloaded games you can own on PlayDate!
Thanks so much! I’d love to know your high score.
What are your other favourite Playdate games?
370,500 but I'm still getting better!
I love Crunky, A Joke That Costs 99 cents and Crankins Time Travel Adventure!!
I really like your consistent visual design across the different titles you offer! Fingers crossed for a 1-file download containing all these little personal jam games :)
Thanks! The consistent design is purely a time saving measure. There are also a few shared functions, but otherwise the games are totally different beasts. I’m still learning new approaches.
The long term goal is to have my own API that I can quickly use to write arcade games, inspired by ABA games’ crisp-game-lib. But I have a long way to go!
My games will always be released as separate games so I can make a living and keep doing this full-time.
Circular is out now! Priced for maximum joy. Have fun!
This looks really good
Oh, I love Super Hexagon!
I know of it only from videos, so I guess I should really play it!
Terry Cavanaugh is a brilliant game designer. BTW, did you pull your game? I dont see it on the site anymore.
It’s yet to be released. Will be uploaded soon. (This page was created with a buggy unfinished version when I got ahead of myself.)
Circular is out now!
