Panic Playdate

[ShootTheCore]

just curious about that.

DoDonPachi-Inspired Shmup 'Gun Trails' Coming Exclusively To Playdate This July

Coming July 18th

www.timeextension.com

The animation and character design looks fun in the trailer but I'd hate to play a danmaku shmup on a black & white, non backlit screen.

I still don't know who the hell this thing is for...but I assume they wear glasses and only use Apple products.

The company that makes these stupid things is based in Portland, OR so I'd say your assumption is dead on.

EDIT: And not a single goddamn fishing game by the looks of it. Who are these idiots?

I dont think that is how it works.

I know I am not listening to that video again to check though.

From their FAQ. It's the first line.

Q: Do games get deleted when the week is over?
A: Absolutely not. You keep the games forever.

I've actually always found this thing to be kind of interesting even if extremely gimmicky, dumb, and the potential plot of a Portlandia episode. No way in hell I'd ever pay the price for one, but I'd like to play around with one at some point.

 

[NeoSneth]

yeah. that's kinda where I landed as well. As a community experience it's probably very fun, but in isolation it's an overpriced gimmick.
I just couldn't get past the lack of color either. limited colors like GBC or NGPC would have been fine, but grey scale.....

I play around with a friends from time to time. that's enough for me.
