A downloadable game

Works only on the device and Linux simulator!

This is a tiny tiny playdate game made for the play-jam 4.

You play a mouse trying to escape the water by talking lifts. Better hurry cause the water is rising!

But you must first collect the keys to unlock each lift.

Controls:

  • D-pad: move (left-right)
  • A: jump
  • Crank: lift up (only when on the lift)

This is my very first playdate game :-)

Thank you very much for trying it out!

it crashes on playdate

Oh... does it? I can not test on the device myself, but it seems other people can run it. Maybe it is an OS version incompatibility? May I ask what's your OS version?

sure OS 2.11

In menu the game has no "thumbnail" or screen just plain text game jam 4 and when viewing error after crash it is:

Coudlnt find pdz file main.pdz


hope it helps

Ah, you used the submitted version. Yes, I know that version was only working on Linux simulator. I shared another version via github for people to play on device. Now that the judging is over, I re-uploaded a version that works on the device. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Tried to load in simulator got:

Load failed, error: (null)

Update error: no such function 'update'

Oh shoot :-/


Maybe my build can run only on Linux? Are you on Windows or Mac? Tonight, I'll try to reproduce from a Windows and a Mac, and see if I can provide builds for those as well. Sorry for the inconvenience.

No worries, on Windows.


Just tested on Mac and got similar error.

Couldn't find pdz file main.pdz

I have reproduced the problem, and I realize not that I was a bit naive in thinking a single export would work on all platforms. Sadly, I haven't been able to successfully compile for Windows yet. For the time being my game is only playable on the Linux Simulator :-/
