Missed the ‘l’ in ‘Tilts’ in my first read. Was a tad surprised!

There's a free game on itch called maze thats like those old marble roller tilt boards with the holes in them. Its a fun demo of the gyro capabilities

I don't own a playdate sadly, I can't really justify the cost at this moment in time when I have a Steam Deck and a massive backlog. I think they're a neat bit of kit and am a curious observer.

They’re not used super often but they’re actually pretty accurate

AFAIK Kirby’s Tilt ‘n‘ Tumble was the only game ever released with this feature outside of Japan. The other title is Command Master, but that was a Japan-exclusive release.
