Go wishlist Turnip Mountain on Steam!
It's not in the Next Fest or anything, but it would make me happy, so that's good enough of a reason 💓
The demo's still up, you can bash it out in 10 minutes and it's co-op if you want to suffer with a friend!

🤫The good thing about working at a low resolution is that you can make a rubbish model and no one will ever know!!

Merci @lukesanderson.bsky.social pour cette magnifique aventure @play.date , si on m'avait dit que je m'amuserais autant avec un navet qui fait de l'escalade, je n'y aurais jamais cru ! 🧗🥕

Mécaniques, level design et courbe de progression au top ! Que demander de plus 😊

It just jump forwards/backwards, you can’t really tell that it all gets misaligned since the camera movement sort of covers it up

Map screen improvements 🗺️

Fun fact: this isn't a 3D model in engine - it's a huge animation that I scrub through to move between levels. Neat!

This is a *fantastic* game from @play.date Season 2. 15 minutes into it and it's already pulled itself up to my top 3 Playdate games.

I just played 30-40 minutes of this and I went from "oh haha what a cute idea this will be fun for a few minutes" to "oh this is the best game on the Playdate..."
Turnip, climbing Celeste. It's phenomenal. (and the music if GREAT!)

I’m afraid not, any other button caused hand cramps during testing. I’ll see if I can slap in a quick fix by switching B with Right on the pad?
