Other Great Playdate Games to Sideload Today
Looking for other great Playdate games to sideload on your console? Mike compiled a huge list of Playdate games on itch.io you should check out!
Here are some of Mike's personal favorites:
- Ribbit Rabbit - This is a clever, simple puzzle game with a great number of levels to enjoy.
- Eyeland - Such a curious little adventure and a charming story.
- The Conquest of Helios - An amazing amount of strategy to sink your teeth into.
- The Wizard's Apprentice - A trading sim that gives Trade Wars/Drugw Wars vibes.
- Castle Helios - The sequel to The Wizard's Apprentice, though nothing like it. Currently the best (only?) Metroidvania side-scroller on Playdate.
- Circular - I love how crank controls are implemented in this minimal arcade/action game.
- Yacht - An extremely faithful replication of a popular handheld Yahtzee LCD game.
- Untitled Roguelike - SquidGodDev is a must follow on YouTube, and Untitled Roguelike is one of the games he shows in his Playdate developer tutorial videos.
- Bloom - Quite possibly the best game on Playdate, Bloom is a narrative driven gardening sim. If you want a great story, get Bloom.
- Pulpergeist - Playdate is a perfect home for tiny adventure games, and Pulpergeist is among the best of them.
- Shift - A perfect little four-by-four tile slide puzzle game.
- Tapeworm Disco Puzzle - Grid-based puzzle game with excellent production value and tons of charm.
- Smolitaire - Every platform needs a good solitaire game, and Smolitaire is it.
