I see only a remote connection to the theme, but nice to see a simple thing working!

This was a fun little arcade like game that overall was fun to play!

suggestions/criticism:
- I feel like there needs to be some more indication about how the player needs to turn their console into a different orientation.
- it would be nice if there was a system that kept your highest score.
- There is nothing telling the player to "Use the Crank"
- It would be nice to have a mode that lets the player go for as long as possible, either with multiple lives or one single life.

Overall great work!

Very fun arcade type game! It's very exciting and fun to play. I personally don't entirely like the sideways crank orientation, but with this type of game it works well! Clever use of the prompt!

I'm a big fan of the vertical orientation and crank controls! Fun if a little easy - maybe hazards to avoid would help mix it up and help with the theme?

I agree with the simplicity of the game, I did not spend enough time on it and it could've been better. I probably spent 5-8 hours on it and it wasn't my best work. Hazards would've been a great addition.

nice and simple arcade game, I like the sideways orientation and the 1:1 movement with the crank. some sound effects and reminding me of me high score at the end would really pump it up!

(I also forgot to show the player high score at the end lol whoops)

Hey, we both made sideways games!  I enjoyed the controls, they were simple but effective and made for a fun 1-minute experience.  I only have two major criticisms- one, it seems like it's easy enough as is to catch every single bubble because you have so much control with the crank- this might not be ideal for a highscore game. Two, I want to see my highscore after the game is over!  It's hectic enough that I didn't get a chance to look up there during the gameplay.  Still, I played through a couple times and I believe I caught every single bubble on my last attempt.  Very fun and good use of the crank.

simple little game crank to catch bubbles. This could be developed into something further with different size bubbles bonuses inside certain bubbles etc. Nice little intro to the game.

Thanks! This is actually my first ever playdate game and I am happy with how it turned out thanks for the rating!
