Prototypes for Playdate
A downloadable game
Buy Now$9.00 USD or more
This collection of prototypes will grow over time. Buying it now means you get all future prototypes for free. The price will increase at the rate of $1 per "playable" prototype.
I say some are "playable" they may be controllable, but they are not full games:
- Crank Ski (crank controls)
- Kuranku (dodgy collision detection)
- Mancala (random cpu skill)
- Rotator (crank to aim and buttons to move)
- Zen (crank to aim, a/b to rake, d-pad to move)
- NEW! Boing (a to jump, b to ground pound to shrink ball)
- NEW! Cranxious (d-pad to cut areas off; broken)
- NEW! Heno-Heno (Gunpey clone: d-pad to move, a to swap; no removal)
- NEW! Parabowl (d-pad to move the ball around)
Others are technical demos:
- Band-kun (mockup of map screen & user interface)
- Shadow (technical demo for shade of grey)
- Sparrow Solitaire (shuffle and deal only)
- NEW! Soccer (pitch pattern, zoom and scroll)
Games taken on by other developers:
- Sparrow Solitaire (with Mac Vogelsang, @Vogelscript)
Most of my future prototypes will end up in this collection.

Bought this just for Kuranku alone. I really would love to see a full version of Kuru Kuru Kranku. I absolutely love that series and would gladly pay for it on PlayDate!
Thanks! I’m a huge fan of all 3 games in the series.
I stopped with the Kuranku game because I needed to think how I could take advantage of Playdate features in the game.
Eventually I did come up with some ideas for gameplay and even a innovative way to do level creator, so now it’s finding the time to do it.
I still have reservations of trying to remake a near-perfect game. We’ll see!
