I ordered my Playdate last week, and it arrived today. I am having a blast with it so far. Highly recommend it. The build quality is really solid, and the software is snappy and fast. Seriously, get yourself one of these.

That’s… Odd to say the least. 8 hours active battery life doesn’t sound great and it seems kinda gimmicky in general. Can someone sell me on it? When would I want to play this?
It is quite a gimmick, but that’s bit necessarily a bad thing tbh. Its neat if you’re a hobbyist dev in particular to expand the way you think about input vs in game design so that when faced with things such as analog triggers, gyro controls or touch surfaces you got a better intuitive thought process.
I will however say that to me, the main use ends there. A neat gimmick in particular for gamedevs.
The season is really fun, enjoy!
