Huh, I haven’t seen this before. Did you have a previous version installed before or is this a fresh install? I just double checked and it works for me as expected. Are you sure you’re uploading the .pdx file to the website and not some .zip for instance?

I was getting an error also: "Incorrect file type, please try again." I deleted the PDX from my computer, and downloaded another copy from Itch (same version), and everything worked as expected. Not sure that helps much!

I did silently re-upload the .pdx file yesterday after seeing the comment. I didn’t mention it because I didn’t think it made a difference, but maybe that was it. Thanks for letting us know!

I downloaded my new copy this AM, so yes, maybe that was the issue!

Thanks for the reply! I've re-downloaded Music Box today and it has installed just fine. Answering the Qs below in case it's useful…

This was a fresh install.

I was uploading the `.zip` of the game downloaded from itch.io (`music_box_1.1.pdx.zip`). Playdate's web sideloading UI asks for "a zipped .pdx file".
