Counter for Playdate is launched! This is our first project for Playdate.

Counter is a cranky counter used for counting anything. Use the crank or the d-pad to count forwards and backwards. Reset count with B button. Allegedly you can count forever. How far can you count?

We wanted to make something small that used the crank in a satisfying, useful way. We were inspired by how good crank-to-buy feels in Catalog, buying many games to chase the high (you're welcome, Panic). We were also inspired by the urge to fidget with the Playdate sitting on our desks.

We wanted Counter to feel like it could’ve been shipped Day 1 for Playdate. For this, special attention was paid to the sound design to fit within the rest of the Playdate’s audio library, especially the crank dock/undock. We’d love to know if we got close!
