I’m also on Linux and had issues where the Playdate Simulator would not run the .pdx folder. I saw the same error as Franchovy described.
I was able to use the Simulator to upload the folder to my Playdate, though!
This one is pretty slick! Love the animations on the little beefy guy. His movement feels nicely constrained.
It took me a while to understand that the flying drills were hurting me. A wind-up animation for them would help, or maybe a hurt state for the player character.
Died on level 4 thinking “surely there will be a health upgrade around here, or a third type of enemy”, but those are just some ideas for future work.
Congrats! This is cool!
