This jam is now over. It ran from 2024-06-08 16:00:00 to 2024-06-22 16:00:00. View 4 entries

So there I was, looking at PlayJam. And I thought to myself: this needs to be longer, let folks get up to a decent cruising speed. 

And here we are. Again. Except now I have a starter's pistol. 🔫🔫 Or I guess a water gun. Thanks, emojis!

Oh yeah, the Playdate is a 1-bit console the size of a post-it note with a neat old school pencil sharpener style crank. It's fun and really easy to develop for! Lots of resources on the Playdate community wiki!


While there's many jams for Playdate, this one is a 2-week long extravaganza. People do great work in a weekend, I want to see what they can do with two full weeks. Polish? Expand? The 240×400 is your oyster for 14 days. A whole fortnight! Not fortnite! FORTNIGHT!



  1. Nothing bigoted or NSFW. We're all here to have fun, let's not exclude anyone.
  2. Must be for Playdate. It's our fun little buddy. Come on in, the cranking is delightful.
  3. Try to do everything within the jam. I know, planning is helpful, but let's roll the dice day one and see what comes up together. The good stuff is almost always a surprise.
  4. ??? {Insert your own maniacal 1-bit plan here, I'll give you some interrobangs}‽‽‽
  5. Profit! The bottom line is where creativity and whimsy meet.


Thanks for Paulothead for their help!
