Cranks are cool 😉
A Playdate console with the app Busy Buddy on it. There, a cartoon Playdate is saying "Buddy, you've got to focus so we can play games." The console sits on top of a keyboard. The keys are not depressed, the console is small and lightweight.

A anthropomorphic cat in a suit seems to be exclaiming, "A sale?! In this economy? We better sell a lot, or you're fired!" It seems to be from a worker's point of view in a cubicle. There's poster of a frog hanging on to a rope with its tongue. The poster text reads, "Hang in there." The graphic is a screenshot from the Playdate console, and is in 1 bit, either black or white.

You love to see it! The Playdate might be my favorite console too. It's not just that it's fun and portable, but the way it empowers small creators to make something truly unique. It's like discovering gaming anew. www.tomsguide.com/gaming/handh...
I finally tried the Playdate and it was so much fun I left my Switch at home for the first time in years
It might look like a Gameboy but this is so much more than yet another retro handheld

Finally got around to publishing one of the watch faces I made! I have so many more to release too! All highly customizable and made to still feel like a real watch. Popping these on my Galaxy watch is the closest I've come to being able to ditch my real watches

I really should get better at doing updates! Working on rarity for the buddies, part of an eventual plan to create a sort of Buddydex(?), making it possible to "collect" the buddies that drop by your virtual desk.
Also, THIS is how I noticed a typo? Oh well, to be fixed in the next release!
Meet The hang in there frog! What started as a message of what was, in hindsight, toxic positivity, this little froggy poster tells the reader to 'Hang in there!" as a method of pushing back the cripling [sic] self doubt, burnout, and negativity that is modern-day corporate work. Again, in hindsight, probably not the best message. But it's funny in an ironic way now, right? At least the frog's cute. Rarity: Common

I've got a lot of love for my first Playdate project! Busy Buddy was made to make focusing with the pomodoro method a bit more fun, and easier for anyone who just learns to ignore session prompts. Latest update is a small one, but lots planned here! ellietrickvibes.itch.io/busy-buddy
Screenshot of Busy Buddy, showing a cartoon hand-drawn version of the Playdate console. Text reads "You're cranking out some great work." It also displays a timer with the amount of time left in the "Focus" state, as well as the current time, 3:09.
