Yeah I extract the pdx and turn it into a zip. I'm able to sideload it like normal but then when i go to install it on the playdate, it fully installs and then says there was a download error.

That's weird... I don't have a PlayDate so I cannot test but is it working for others games ?

Yes i'm able to get most of the other games i've downloaded working

Huh? I just extracted the rar file and it gives me the pdx file. I can open that normally with the Playdate Simulator

Btw, if I pull up the hook again (without any fish on the hook) just after let it go down, the Playdate Simulator gives an error on this:

scenes/game.lua:301: attempt to index a nil value (field 'fish')
stack traceback:

When I extract the pdx from the rar and try to sideload the game, the sideload page tells me its "not a zip file".

Then I try putting it in a zip file, it allows me to sideload, but then thats when i have my download problem on my console

I will try to make it a .zip file in the next update

I can confirm I get the same issue with this game. Game is sideloaded fine, go to install on the playdate itself, bar gets to 100%, then gives me an error, just saying there was an error installing the game. Only other game I've had this issue with was Grelb's Very Good Poker: https://stevenf.itch.io/grelbs-very-good-video-poker He fixed it by separating the pdx from the source code, I think.

Have you tried with 1.0.0 ? (The latest update)
Because before the source files were in the root folder, now, there is a .pdx folder with source files in, in the root folder
