OK, re-uploaded the .zip! Should work through the sideloading page now! Thanks for letting me know!

Can confirm it now works! Thanks :)

Actually, maybe I spoke too soon! It sideloaded through the website just fine but for whatever reason it has been unsuccessful to actually install on my playdate through the games list. It seems to download and install just fine, without any errors, but then it doesn't. I had a previous game give an error along the lines of "there was a problem downloading this game," but this one seems to go through the downloading and installing process just fine, with the %s reaching 100%... but then nothing. I have the option to "uninstall game" as long as I stay on the game download screen, but it's just not on the Playdate when I look. Returning to the games list, it's still there needing to be downloaded. I've downloaded a couple other games since no problem so I don't think my hardware or internet or anything is the issue. But I've tried this one 3 times now with the same result each time.

Huh... that's... weird. You might try a Settings > System > Restart Playdate just to rule that out.

Otherwise, try deleting it from both your device and the sideloading page and starting over.

If that still doesn't work, let me know!

Unfortunately, I've tried both to no avail :( Not sure what's causing this issue!

Have to admit, I'm stumped too! I'm assuming it's working for the other folks here? Can anyone vouch? :)

Oh, and just to make sure, you are just uploading the .pdx and not the entire contents of the zip?

I think this may be the problem -- the sideloading page should not accept this entire zip as a valid game. I've re-uploaded it as 2 zips (one with the game, one with the source). Try sideloading just the game one and see if it works!

Yes, this seems to have fixed the issue! Thanks! :)

I have the same issue as Divisionlo :(

Hmm.. ok, I'm going to see if I can reproduce the problem with anyone here.
