EmergencyCrank is the first Playdate idle game for lifesavers! Start with a tiny rescue station and crank your way up to a regional emergency campus.
Turn the Playdate crank to earn cash, hire staff, buy upgrades, and unlock ambulances, rescue drones, doctors, and helicopters. Dispatch calls bring quick minigames involving timing, memory, D-pad inputs, first-aid questions, crank control, and motion-controlled helicopter landings.
Your station keeps earning between missions, while the dispatch ticker delivers real, unusual, and funny callouts inspired by the developer's time as a volunteer paramedic in Austria. Return each day to choose a free reinforcement for your crew.
Complete the station to unlock New Game+, choose a Prestige Focus, research permanent Command Academy bonuses, collect cosmetics, and chase achievements across multiple runs.
As you can see, there's plenty to do, lifesaver.
Heartlight PC (1994) for the Playdate console. Heartlight is a grid puzzle of falling rocks and dig-and-collect: dig through grass, push rocks, dodge falling hazards and bombs, and collect every heart to open the exit, then step through it to clear the cave.
Day Ticket is a carp focused fishing game for Playdate.
Choose a venue, cast your line, watch the water, and strike when the reel runs. Once hooked, each fish becomes a hands-on fight: use the crank and buttons to manage tension, give line, tire the fish, and land it without snapping.
Earn coins from catches, upgrade your tackle, and unlock tougher waters as you build your carp fishing setup. Weather, wind, lake beds, bait, and gear all affect how a session plays out.
A full playable tutorial teaches the flow step by step, from casting and striking to fighting, netting, using the tackle shop, and saving your game.
Calm, compact, and skill-based, Day Ticket is made for players who like fishing games with patience, pressure, and progression.
What is this darn thing? Why, it's Steeplejack, of course! Play as a flag-man trying his hardest to keep his flags up-to-date with the news, which comes and goes fast these days! Raise and lower the flags with the Playdate's crank to match the emotion of the news:
Play as a telephone operator in the 1960s, when exchanges were not yet fully automated. Plug the right cables to connect incoming calls before the switchboard overflows!
Switchboard Shuffle is a puzzle-game/score-chaser inspired by Tetris and Puzzle League, featuring unique cable-routing gameplay. Cables drop from the top of the board and must be guided to jacks of the matching color.
You come to the town of Giant's Well to take on the endless dungeon where you will find countless monsters and powerful loot that can help you in your quest. When it starts to get too rough, head back to town to restock or press your luck to get the better treasures farther down.
Grind out level-ups and get the best rolls on randomized treasure to prepare for the deeper floors of the dungeon. If you head too deep before you're ready, a single wrong step could mean starting over, but use your new knowledge (and a few upgrades that transcend death) to make it further and further into the dungeon to find rarer and rarer treasure. Infinite dungeon with infinite scaling treasures, tactical tile-based combat, dozens of side quests that each unlock additional game features, countless secrets including additional player classes, special shops, unique equipment and more!
