Inspector Waffles Early Days was already available on PC, Switch, Xbox, PS5 and of course Game Boy Color.
You can now add the Playdate to the list! 🤯
I'm so proud this port exists, on one of my favorite handheld consoles. Thanks a lot to @panic.com and the CrankBoy team to make it happen ☺️

underrated thing about the playdate with that crankboy GB emulator, it has really *really* good sleep mode and battery life for its size
obviously that's also from it not being backlit but getting like 2-3x more playtime than every other more micro handheld and hopping in and out quicker is neat
