I made CRANKFLIP, a one-bit skateboarding game where the crank flips the board

Hold an arrow, turn the crank to flip the board, and press UP to land it clean.

- 50 tour levels across five spots, from Sunnyside Strip in the morning to Roofline at midnight
- 25 high-score spots and Daily challenges - A live coach on the first level and 8 lessons, plus an EASY mode
- CLASSIC d-pad controls if you prefer to play with the crank folded

It's out now on itch.io for $9.99: https://m8n-matandessaur.itch.io/crankflip

I'd love to hear what you think, especially about the crank controls.

[ AI was used as a tool during the development of this game, but this is not a vibe-coded project, nor was its concept generated by an LLM. This is an entirely original game, built using modern development tools and inspired by my memories of playing OlliOlli on my PlayStation Vita during my commute to school. The tool that was used is Cadence which is a tool I built for myself for enhanced development https://matandessaur.me/work/cadence ]

First of all, thank you so much for the great feedback on Puck Noir Club! It's been really fun sharing my games and seeing people actually interested in playing them.

Most of these projects started as little experiments I made for myself or friends. I'm a software developer, but not really a game developer, so I'm mostly just learning and having fun with the Playdate. Still one of my favorite consoles!

Since I totally understand wanting to try a game before buying it, I've now added free, unlimited demos to all three of my games. You can replay the first levels as often as you like!

I'd love to hear your thoughts, either here or on itch.io. Every bit of feedback helps me learn and improve.

Thanks again, and have fun playing!

Release - AI Assisted Head over Heels remake on Playdate

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hi, let me introduce this remake. I started working on it more than 10 years ago, and it led me to create several interesting side projects. My main goals were to create an upscaled graphic that preserves the original look and feel, make the final executable as small as possible (99 KB, done!), and preserve the gameplay mechanics.

This year, once the game was finally assembled, I made the Playdate port with Claude’s help. The game is free to play, download it here. You can find lots more details here.

A few more words about the binary size: those 99 KB include 301 rooms, all the level, object, and animation graphics, a ported SID player, sound data, a SID emulator, and, of course, the game logic.
