I think this is the strongest title I've played on playdate so far. It's simple, but makes great use of the crank and offers a compelling arcade experience that when paired with the right(as in 'poor') lighting, you can have a nostalgic glimpse into the past where you're playing Kirby tilt and tumble on the original game boy in between street lights at 9pm. It felt as intuitive as that and with that enjoyable of a mechanic, and i think that was better than the game alone could have been. The inconvenience for something you love, while spinning your goofy crank, tilting your body in an awkward way to catch light.
