The playdate looks like it could be interesting. Some of the games on it look interesting, like Wastebraver, Solar Descent, Legend of Etad, and Dragon Hunt Adventure. I'd also want to see if the Playdate has any fishing games, it would probably be a great format for them considering the crank.
Literally did so 5 hours after posting Suddenly eBay U.K got a bunch added and for less than it would cost shipping from the states so I'll take that Should get it in time for my birthday too as that's my gift to myself lol
Did you ever get one and have you began developing on it? I want to start developing and playdate seems like a fun place to start but I haven’t made the purchase (+ long shipping wait) yet lol
I love the Playdate, I've made my game Rocket Bytes as well as a few other jam games for it and right now I'm working on a project I think will turn out pretty well for it
I feel like the crank makes it kinda awkward to pocket. Even if it tucks away a lil. I think I'd be less inclined to carry it in a pocket, than a device twice as thick and taller like my miyoo mini plus
Sadly there support sucks… and internationally shipping costs more then 80 dollars… making it around 280 … that’s 80 dollars more then a Nintendo Switch lite…
Ive just Subscribed to this wonderful channel because of this Playdate games review, hope and please do more playdate games reviews in the future, ... AND ... Ive VERY suprised you havent reviewed 'Dave the Diver', with it being the best indie title of this year and that ....
I also thought that the crank was a dumb gimmick and did not care about it at all when picking this up, only wanting to make video games for it but after playing games like rocket byte and core fault I realized it is an incredible control mechanism.
@@IDreamofIndie Just got mine and funny enough stumbled across this video again only to see my comment haha. Grand Tour Legends, A Joke thats worth .99 cents, and Crankin's time adventure have been really fun. I've also just sideloaded some free games off itch and can't wait to play those
I love the idea of the device, but most games on it from what I have seen are terribly over priced for what they offer. There are tons of deeper and better games on android for 1-4 dollars. I understand the market is smaller so no one wants to sell their games for less...but i mean at least add more content to the games you make to charge that price? Idk could be just me
It's not exactly a back-of-the-box value proposition, but for what it's worth PD is a platform that has lots of potential for future developments, and a very engaged & friendly community of devs if you're into that sort of thing.

I appreciate that you spoke about these games in some level of detail, and not simply explaining exactly how the game works and then moving on.
What a soothing voice... ❤
i ordered one on launch day, and ITS COMING TOMORROW FINALYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Trying to get one myself purely to bloody develop on, got 3 ideas for games already and desperate to get started lol
Awesome we hope you get one!!

The style of the games all look so good. people's creativity will always amaze me
A Balanced Brew is my favorite game on Playdate. So fun!!
That tapeworm game is also available for the Evercade.

Sadly it was sent our way pretty late, sometimes access is a numbers game unfortunately. Glad you are enjoying the content!
@@IDreamofIndie ... Still cant see why you cant review it in your distinctive, smooth style, would still love to know what you thought of it ..
Thanks for the video!
You bet!
I also thought that the crank was a dumb gimmick and did not care about it at all when picking this up, only wanting to make video games for it but after playing games like rocket byte and core fault I realized it is an incredible control mechanism.
Still can’t wait for mine, I’m in group 5 so hopefully I’ll have mine before the end of the year
Best of luck!! 🤞

I recommend rootbear but it’s $3
Is anyone making games for this still??? Because I want it.
New game boy 😂😂😂

Precisa ter também jogos de luta e jogos de futebol. 🥋⚽️
how dare you. the audacity. Panic is based in portland, oregon; not seattle.
great video otherwise
Ive only got two games. I thought it comes with 24 games.
You get two a month.
300 like
I love the idea of the Playdate, but I'm just not seeing anything that makes me want to spend $200 on. All the games look like overpriced tech demos.
Fair enough!
This shits 200 bucks? Bro wtf
$200? Nah
90% of coments from bots
I’ve been interested in these since they first were announced but I can’t justify more than $100 for what it is but it’s gorgeous! 🫶

@@thrillhouse_vanhouten I’m thinking between this and an Evercade…
I don't mind it's price, although I feel 140 is more reasonable. But many games are over priced for the content they provide.
