Been hard at work on big changes to my #playdate game CranKnight, thought I’d share a sneak peek here! One change is an amulet upgrade that charges up as you spin, and can be unleashed for powerful effects!
Please look forward to the 1.1 release in the next month or so!

Here’s another sneak peak for the upcoming update to my #playdate game CranKnight! Every 3-4 levels, you can choose a different room to progress through, which adds unique enemies that carry forward to other rooms. This should make each run feel a little more different!

I was recently gifted a @play.date console and decided I MUST make something for it, it's just too fun to make games for! I came up with a simple game called "CranKnight" (Crank-Knight) which uses the playdate's unique crank controls. Check it out on @itch.io!
