Today, after many years of keeping Playdate a secret only we at Panic knew about, noodled on, tinkered with, were jazzed for, honed, and shaped into something hopefully cool, we get to open the doors and share it with the world. I think it’s cool and you’ll think it’s cool 🙂

Gravity Express feels soooo satisfying on Playdate, just a really good flow state.

If you own a Playdate, we hope you've had a moment to enjoy Reel Steel & Recommendation Dog! These games were brought to you by two teams of up-and-coming devs from marginalized backgrounds, led by the folks at @SweetBabyInc and @StrangeScaffold. Available for free on Catalog!

Everybody on Catalog worked very hard! It was a lot. Never crunch, but a few internal delays. Still, in this bonkers industry, it might be really helpful to calibrate: You can make big, complex, fun, well-considered things, and still have the core team fit in a single tweet.
✨ Catalog Credits ✨ • App: Wade Cosgrove • Backend/Web: Kyle Rimkus + Andy Bayer + Tim Coulter • OS: Dan Messing + Marc Jessome • Design: Neven Mrgan • QA: Sally Hatfield • DevRel: Arisa Sudangnoi • Producer: Greg Maletic • Music: Cabel Sasser + Simon Panrucker

Probably my favorite episode of the Playdate Podcast so far……
💿 Not a lot of people know that Panic made video games in the late ’70s! Today’s episode of the Playdate Podcast goes deep into the history of b360, featuring @cabel, @mrgan, @danmessing, @dj_abell, & @metacrawl on bringing this “lost” game to Playdate! podcast.play.date/episodes/s…
