Regular readers will already be aware what a huge fan I am of Panic's little yellow Playdate crank operated handheld and at the end of May they released a second season of games.
To explain when you purchase a Playdate you get included 24 Season 1 games which are automatically downloaded to your device at the rate of 2 per week for 12 weeks. I have the full collection and apart from a couple of duds most are quality titles so had high hopes for season 2 which was released at the end of last month.
And I'm pleased to say that four weeks in I've not been disappointed! There's only been one dud so far, a rather pointless title called CatchaDiablos which appears to consist of simply drawing circles to supposedly catch some critters on the screen however as yet I've not been able to get close enough to them by drawing said circles so am just finding the whole title rather tedious and boring, although there is an impressions video on YouTube from the excellent Destination Playdate channel so maybe that will tell me what I'm doing wrong!
It works on the same principle as Season 1 although this time there are 12 games released at 2 per week for 6 weeks, and so far we've a remake of the Shadowgate RPG, a platformer, a music rhythm game (I do love a good rhythm game!), a point and click adventure game, a motorbike racer, an archeology themed digging game and a shoot-em-up, not too shabby so far!
I look forward to seeing what the remaining four titles have to offer, but highly recommended thus far!
