2025 games played report!
I only finished 4 games so far, all on Playdate: Dig Dig Dino, Chance's Lucky Escape, Black Hole Havoc and Fulcrum Defender. Having games at your disposal whenever you want helped a bit I guess. But they are small and good so that helps too!

In last Crankstone update, I planned to have better balanced mini games. Having something like 50 levels by mini game would be great! It can be tough to reach level 10 in some of them! Alas, I haven't had the time to do this in this one, so stay tuned for the next! lugludum.itch.io/crankstone/d...

When crafting the game's sound design, you might occasionally stumble upon a sound by accident or coincidence. For example, I was recording the "oooo" sound but my kids made some noise so I said CHUT (shh in english) and it became the ghost's dying sound 😜 .#playdateConsole #sounddesign

Tiny update before the Christmas one. It includes new sounds and some fixes. It's frustrating to still encounter bugs in my game 4 months after launch but hopefully I may be the only 1 to experience it since it involves being really quick. Anyway, my game gets better. ✌️ #playdateConsole #gamedev

I'm working on a new music for the Christmas event🧑🎄 in Crankstone 🤠. I'm not sure if it will suit the game but I did my best and I had fun with bells and jew harp
A bit late in my schedule but I hope to release the update before Christmas.
What do you think of the music? #gamedev #playdate #solodev
