Garbage Scow Captain

Until recently you were an elite Star Fighter Pilot. On your last mission, everything that could go wrong did go wrong.

You've been demoted to Garbage Scow Captain, and you're now tasked with keeping the hyperspace lanes clear of debris ... in an unarmed garbage scow.

Use the scow's thruster wake to push debris out of the lanes. Anything caught in the wake will move in the opposite direction of your ship.

Mind the Nebulorcas that feed in the hyperspace lanes, as well as the occasional hostile fighter craft (the galaxy is at war, after all), and maybe - just maybe, you'll get out of this alive.

Features

  • Challenging, quick-play score chasing action.
  • Three difficulty modes, but you have to survive with at least a 90% clear rate to unlock the harder ones!
  • Daily Challenge Mode with a different challenge for every day of the week, with a resetting online leader board.
  • Cameos from the Playdate Cinematic Universe and beyond.
  • Four local player profiles with custom names.
  • Local and global leader boards for all difficulty modes.

Shift II

Shift II

A sequel to the popular 2022 puzzle game, Shift II takes the familiar and adds all new mechanics, strategy and ways to play.

This sequel is as fun as the first game! Shift II adds a twist to the original, with more shapes to match and more modes. Our favorite new mode is The Tactical, where you must maintain your streak to keep playing! Panic Staff Pick

Featuring three gameplay modes, The Calm tasks you with managing your energy supply, The Tactical only cares about your ability to maintain a streak, while The Frantic pits you against a thirty second countdown timer and was specifically designed for those of you who were disappointed that the original game wasn't stressful enough.

Keeping up your streak count, upgrading and downgrading tiles and making the most efficient moves as possible are all critical to your high score chances.

Features

  • Three play modes: The Calm, The Tactical and The Frantic
  • All new gameplay and mechanics.
  • Four local player profiles with custom names
  • Local leaderboards for both modes.
  • Pick up where you left off in both modes, across all player profiles.
  • A "Reduce Motion" accessibility option.
  • SAM-Y?

Four Corners

Best Puzzle Game Nominee for the 2023 Playdate Community Awards, and named one of the Best Games for Playdate in 2024 by Engadget!

Four Corners is an energetic puzzle game for your Playdate that asks you to do something simple - make rectangles.

That's it. Really!

Ok, not really. As the name implies, it's the corners that matter here. Each corner of your rectangle must be the same color, and there are three different colors and a hundred tiles to choose from.

Then there's the thirty second timer. And there's a square counter that demands a certain number of tiles. And every time you fill it up, it just wants even more. But you only ever have thirty seconds, which isn't a lot of time, so things get exciting pretty quickly.

Oh! And did we mention there are Bombs? Because there are bombs. And a bunch of bonuses to help you out along the way.

Rectangles. Bombs. Bonuses. Are you a Corner Master?

Lillybug Logo

Lillybug

While browsing the list of achievements in the backyard of the Generations house, have you ever thought to yourself "I wonder what it would be like to play a game as one of those fireflies ..."?

Well, wonder no more! Lillybug is exactly that. In Lillybug, you play as a little firefly who is the only thing standing in the way of an army of termites that want nothing more than to make a meal of her home.

Dash back and forth across the tree, killing termites and collecting the whirlygigs the tree drops to heal the damage that termites have done, all the while avoiding a hungry spider who will happily make a meal of you (and the termites). The faster you help the tree regain its resilience, the better.

The Tree is counting on you - don't let it down!

Shift

Best Puzzle Game Nominee for the 2022 Playdate Community Awards!

Shift is a deceptively simple match-four game that requires a little strategy, a small amount of luck and occasionally a deep breath and a fingers-crossed gamble.

Your task, with the help of a little droid named SAM-Y, is to shift tiles around the 4x4 grid to get an entire row or column of tiles to be the same color. Tiles will move until they are no longer able, be that by hitting the edge of the grid, or another tile.

Features
  • Use the crank to swap colors from tile to tile.
  • Shake the device when you're down to half a bar of energy to get one-last-chance.
  • Four player profiles, each with their own local high scores.
  • Global leaderboards.
