97. Flipper Lifter
Release: May 10, 2022, Playdate Beaten: Dec. 19, 2025, Playdate (S1)
bleurughghh it's ok i guess
A casual score-chasing game which I played earlier this year and then dropped and then picked back up again just now. I don't see myself coming back to this, like, ever.
79. Hazelnut Hex
Release: Oct 1, 2022, PC (itch.io) Beaten: Oct 10, 2025, PC (Steam)
A fairly enjoyable little shmup which I kind of sucked at but liked regardless. I didn't keep playing long enough to get a 1cc or anything like that, shmups are not my usual thing, but I enjoyed it for what it was.
60. AAoyue I
Release: September 13, 2022, Playdate Beaten: August 2nd, 2025, Playdate Play time: 17m
A code-cracking-esque game that is basically like Wordle but all the "words" are random combinations of vowels. You can solve five-to-ten letter words and there's achievements for solving each type once. It ended up taking less than 20 minutes to do so. I genuinely really enjoyed this and it will be a puzzle game I keep coming back to. It is free on itch.io but it costs two dollars on the catalog.
35. Pick Pack Pup
Release: May 2022, Playdate Beaten: May 21st, Playdate (S1)
Another pretty good Playdate game from Season 1. It's a simple puzzler which is served alongside some cute story bits. It throws unique objectives at you that alter the game either a lot or a little, and does so frequently enough that the game feels pretty fresh throughout. And it's a pretty good length; the story mode is like a few hours at most, and then if you really want to keep playing, you can play some of the many additional game modes. I'm really pleased with this one.
32. Casual Birder
Release: April 2022, Playdate Beaten: May 17th, Playdate (S1)
Casual Birder is actually pretty good, and I'm not just saying that from the perspective of having played a lot of not-very-good Playdate games. Like, it's a legitimately fun experience, with funny writing, pleasant art, an engaging premise, and an upbeat soundtrack. As one of the first games most people will play on Playdate (one of two games included in the first season's first week), I think it leaves a good impression of what the system's niche could be: short, polished experiences that take advantage of the system's quirks and limitations.
20. Lost Your Marbles
Release: May 2022, Playdate Beaten: March 24th, Playdate (S1) Play time: 43m
It was not very good and that's about all I want to say.
Okay I'll say more. It's a visual novel where choice mechanics are decided based on a physics platformer/marble roller. But the choices are mostly inconsequential and the novel portion is uninteresting with unappealing characters. It's wholesome to a fault.
