#update
CodeWordPlay version 1.3 is now available!
Did you find CodeWordPlay a little too challenging, or the timer in the game a little too quick or frustrating? Did you get sick of clicking the d-pad endlessly to scroll through letters? I got this feedback a whole lot more than I expected, and it's time to address all of that in this update.
If you have CodeWordPlay, I highly recommend updating the game to 1.3. I previously couldn't get the crank controls to work the way I wanted to and abandoned the idea, but the combination of no timer and being able to crack codes with the Playdate's crank gives CodeWordPlay a whole new feel.
CodeWordPlay v1.3 Updates:
One of my next games
I am in development on multiple Playdate projects, one of which is Crankblade, a rogue-ish Zelda-like in which you spin your sword around with the crank in randomly-generated levels. If you haven't seen it yet, please check out the trailer:
