We just received this haul of Playdate Community Awards 2025 swag at Orange Thief HQ! We're still chuffed to have received three nominations for Lolife, thank you to all of the organisers and to the #Playdate community for being the most generous and supportive place there is to make games #indiedev

A photo of a whiteboard. The logo for the game Lolife has been drawn freehand in marker pen. Around it are arranged three nominee magnets and one hero magnet from the Playdate Community Awards 2025 along with a purple Playdate cover with a trophy printed onto it. Lolife was nominated for Pulp Game of the Year, Innovation in Pulp, and Accomplishment in Accessibility in the awards.

We're very happy with this nomination for Lolife kicking off the #Playdate awards season! Thinking about accessibility helped us make a better game in general, especially in providing the choice of real time or turn based gameplay #indiedev

We can finally talk about this secret cheat code hidden in more than two dozen #Playdate games! For the last few years we've been quietly encouraging devs to sneak RUBDUBDUB into their games. Now we're excited for the community to discover where the code is hidden 🕵️ playdate-wiki.com/wiki/RUBDUBDUB

RUBDUBDUB

RUBDUBDUB (right-up-b-down-up-b-down-up-b) is a secret cheat code hidden in multiple Playdate games. Many uses of the code are still to be discovered by the community and developers are encouraged to continue adding the code to more games.

Another Resonant Tale "physical edition"?! Very, very cool! Delved is a fun Pulp-made platformer too, go check it out!

SN-Studios@snstudios.bsky.social · last yr.

To celebrate Delved's release on Catalog, I decided to make a "physical" version for it! As well as one for Resonant Tale, because, why not? Couldn't have just one on the shelf. Only got the covers so far, but I'll print some artwork for the inside and maybe get an SD card to complete it! #Playdate

I wrapped my 100% run of @bumbleborn.com’s Echo: The Oracle’s Scroll, and am now on Lolife. It’s really good, and nicely challenging to start. Go buy this!

It's been one week since Lolife launched on #Playdate and we're thrilled that over one hundred players have started out on their quest for revenge! If you've yet to join them here's a great review of the game from @thegamellama.bsky.social www.playdateunofficial.com/the-games/lo...
