I occasionally make #playdate games like Cannonball Kid and Fortress. I also enjoy sports, investing, music, and traveling.

All the great #playdate Season 3 games that were announced inspired us to put more time into our brick breaker game, Retro Breaker. Here we are testing it in the kitchen. Right now it has 64 levels, a global scoreboard with time as a tiebreaker, and several power-ups ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ

Thanks for the Cannonball Kid review, it means a lot! We put a lot into the game and we love seeing people play it. I read your reviews so it's surreal to see one of my games on the site. #playdate

It's Cannonball Kid time on Playdate Unofficial, the latest from @alancooke.bsky.social! www.playdateunofficial.com/the-games/cannonball-kid

A few weeks ago I set up an NCAA style tournament on Reddit where people voted on their favorite #playdate games. Here are the results. Spilled Mushrooms was the overall winner. Fulcrum Defender, Dig! Dig! Dino!, and Under The Castle won their regions.

I wish I had half the art sense my sister does, here's a preview of some of the catalog art she's working on for Cannonball Kid. Real graphic design is so cool. #playdate

I have had lots of time for #Playdate development lately! I have two awesome projects I'm involved with! One is a brother/sister collaboration (Cannonball Kid) and the other is an unannounced husband/wife collaboration. Here's a preview of the husband/wife collaboration for #ValentinesDay.

I'm watching #Bears and #49ers. I don't have a dog in this fight and I have two thoughts: 1) I'm super impressed the Bears don't crack under pressure and 2) the 49ers aren't appreciated enough - great game!

I have not posted the guide for my Playdate game, Fortress, on Bluesky yet so here is a screenshot of it. It's only $1 right now via @play.date's catalog sale. Their sale goes through March 20th (10am PT). If you own a #playdate there are a ton of great games that are discounted right now.

Someone tell me how making English the official language, renaming the Gulf of Mexico, or renaming a mountain in Alaska helps struggling families or helps healthcare, lowers poverty, or increases access to education.

Anybody else lose some money in the market today? It's almost like the tariffs will have negative reciprocal effects and numerous economic experts warned us about it.

You are up to date.
