I just donated via the fundraiser page. It felt doubly odd donating to “my” own campaign and using US dollars.

It’s important for me to point out that the donations are automatically passed to the charity by Just Giving. We set up the campaign page and selected a charity, that’s as far as our involvement goes. We definitely do not handle any donation money.

OK, have fun!

Thanks! Very odd. Is the date and time set correctly on your Playdate?

Super cool! Nice work.

Hi! Thanks for the report. I’ve just tested the game (latest version 1.1 from Catalog) on my device (running 2.5.0 firmware) and after launching I can do all three tutorial levels and the next one that I select myself. At what point does this issue happen for you? Is there any error message? Could you video the crash?

You could try deleting the game’s save data: Settings > Games > Sparrow Solitaire > Delete Game Data (but first please copy it to your PC before deleting it; if the save data does turn out to be the issue we’d like to look at it - thanks!)

No, it will only ever be here. Thanks for asking!

This new is much better, quite playable. There is still some slowdown at the beginning of a level (how much depends on how many enemies there are) that eases off as the level becomes more empty, but it’s much less than before. So, thanks!

ps: I’m using Android 11 running on a Nexus 7 (2013). Old, I know, but still very capable and a great book reading tablet.

I’m wondering if you’d accept pull requests on this? As I notice it’s on your old/unused GitHub account.

This looks delightful!

Looking very nice indeed!

Maybe it could actually scream?

Quack.

OMG I love its face!

This looks really fun and interesting! Will be playing them all once the jam has ended.

Would benefit from additional screenshots.

If you’re downloading this, please leave a comment to let me know how you arrived here. Thank you.

“He loves!”

Yes, it works with speaker or headphones.

It sounds like you’re trying to sideload the wrong file? Are you uploading the zip or the extracted pdx?

Only via data disk mode, system limitation.

Check out Cave Noire on GB!

No worries at all!

Sadly in 2024 the Mac version no longer works on modern macOS. I was looking for a bonsai app I could leave open and tend to from time to time for relaxation. And maybe as a screensaver.

Press the A button

That’s probably it!

I had the ghost get trapped on one edge. It should always run towards you!

Just spotted this comment! The price changes often, and I try to enter it into bundles or sales when I can. Glad you’re having fun with it! Money well spent.

Wonderfully presented! Any chance to have B button reveal all text? Return to menu could move to the system menu.

Thanks! I’ll have to add those characters to the fonts. I’m afraid it will have to wait until after Christmas. Apologies.

Thanks! I am British, so my experience of the scene came only from having my own software and games featured in Japanese magazines. At the time I made games for Windows. After that I became a Macintosh fan and eventually worked at Apple for a while. During the COVID pandemic, and since, I collected many Japanese Macintosh Magazine CD-ROM and some 3.5” floppy disks. I shared them all on Internet Archive, and created a searchable database at: https://www.gingerbeardman.com/mmm/ From this collection I’ve recovered many “lost” HyperCard stacks, software and games. It’s a lot of fun! https://blog.gingerbeardman.com/2021/10/30/macintosh-magazine-media/

Yes to both questions. It is playable, and there is only one level. The level can be played to failure or completion. Collision detection works, but is not as thorough as in the original game.

Are you Japanese? I’d like to hear about how the Macintosh scene was in the early 1990s.

You are very welcome! Please do share it with other people over the holidays.

I just uploaded a new version that respects the system setting for 12/24 hour time display. Cheers!

Works great in Wine, I’ve been playing the Windows version on a Mac for years now.

I agree, nbd, you just have to care. Here’s how I did it with my latest game: https://blog.gingerbeardman.com/2023/11/21/yoyozo-how-i-made-a-playdate-game-in-39kb/

Hi Wiebo! I just remembered this game and had to hunt it down. Hope you’re well!

Thanks for the your feedback, I agree entirely with all of it. This is actually the first love2d game I’ve ever made. “Mistakes were made!” as they say. I’ll know for next time. I will expand on it and make it onto a proper game with good accessibility and so on. Thanks for playing.
