Articles - Playdate: The Unofficial Website

Catalog – Playdate’s on-device app store that is also very browser- and mobile-friendly – is THREE YEARS OLD.

Blippo+ has been this mysterious creature ever since it was surprise announced back at Day of the Devs in December 2024.

Playdate Unofficial: Hi, Scott (Hall, game developer at Orange Thief)!

Rae is one of the darlings of the Playdate community — always ready to help people in the Playdate Squad Discord; creator of games like HEXA, First in… Line?

I missed writing about the first annual Playdate Advent Calendar in 2023 because, well… this site didn’t exist yet.

You were with us through all of Scenic Route Week, where I played every Scenic Route Software game released on Playdate, all in a row, including one that as of this writing isn’t out yet (but will be on Catalog on September 10, 2024!).

Look, my wife and I made a video!

Hosted by PossiblyAxolotl, the first interview I ever did on this site, here is the Summer 2024 Playdate Community Direct!

Ollie Coe is the creative force and main/only person behind Pixel Ghost, one of the most prolific Playdate developers to date.

I’m sure there have been/will be more, but here’s every Playdate game from a game jam I could find, in chronological order, newest/current ones first!

PossiblyAxolotl is a PILLAR of the Playdate community, whether it’s making award-winning games like Rocket Bytes, maintaining a popular YouTube channel, or hosting a fifth Playdate PlayJam on Itch.io this Friday, April 19, 2024.

Don’t try to drag-and-drop a game file here - this is just a picture of where you should do it on the Playdate website.

I don’t have articles for all of these yet, and one technically came out in 2022 but had a massive update in 2023 that basically doubled the size of the game, and like many others I didn’t even get my Playdate until 2023 so these were all “new to me.”

There are a ton of Snake games on the Playdate.
