This collection of prototypes will grow over time. Buying it now means you get all future prototypes for free. The price will increase as more "playable" prototypes are added.

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)
  • Boing (a to jump, b to ground pound to shrink ball)
  • Cranxious (d-pad to cut areas off; broken)
  • Heno-Heno (Gunpey clone: d-pad to move, a to swap; no removal)
  • Parabowl (d-pad to move the ball around)
  • NEW! Rocket Man (d-pad and buttons to fly around)
  • NEW! Eggdog (d-pad/crank to aim, hold a to power-up, release a to move)
  • NEW! KOATARI (crank to aim, a button to release ball)

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)
  • Soccer (pitch pattern, zoom and scroll)

Games taken on by other developers:

Most of my future prototypes will end up in this collection.

Is Kuranku playable in this form? Is there just the one level?

(2 edits)

Yes to both questions. It is playable, and there is only one level. The level can be played to failure or completion. Collision detection works, but is not as thorough as in the original game.

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!
