I’ve bought the game long ago and I finally had time to play it. I just finished the first chapter and I want more! If you managed to get out of Pulp and started with Lua hopefully it will run even better.
Great game! I'm having fun with it, and it's challenging to get all the stars but fun.
I want to provide some feedback:
A better way to restart/retry a level is needed. When you want to get all the stars, you end up retrying a level many times. Opening the menu to do it, then moving up two times, then pressing A, waiting a little bit, and pressing A again, is too much. Maybe you can add an option when you die to just press A to continue, or hold B for a second to restart the level.
In level 14, the platforms that you move with the crank at the end of the level are too difficult to align. They're too separate and move at a different pace, breaking the flow of the level. It's like that section in particular is way more hard than the whole previous part of the same level.
In level 15 I don't know if it's really possible to get the time star. The level is long if you want to get all the coins, and even if I thought I was fast enough, it turns out I needed to do it in 1 minute less. It's too much of a difference. Maybe I'm missing a shortcut?
This cannot be sideloaded to the real hardware because the zip file contains the pdx file inside a folder. It must be wat the top level, otherwise, you get the error "Could not find a top-level .pdx file" in the Playdate sideload page.
I just did the needed changes myself, but I'm letting you know so you can update the file accordingly for other people purchasing this 👍
Here you have. I can see some other devs updating their games for v2.0, but others don’t and the games still work fine. Maybe it’s an incompatibility of some sort with the new hardware? (New batches come with a different cpu and Playdate OS 2.0 added compatibility for them).
Hey there! I just bought the game two days ago. I have a new Playdate, and I updated the OS. I sideloaded this game as well as several others and this one is the only game that crashes my Playdate. If you just press A in the Bellingham file, it immediately triggers the crash screen from playdate itself (some blocks falling) and the system restarts by itself. As mine is a new installation I doubt it's a corrupted save data. Playing other mini games (files) seem to work fine.
