It took me a while to find out how to run the game - this includes finding the "Playdate" keyword and then finding the "Playdate Simulator". Some system requirements + running instructions would go a long way. ^^'

Unfortunately, even when I got it running, I only got what appeared to be the trailed visual, and the simulator closed itself after "I'm a big fan, are you?" portion corresponding to the end of the trailer. I don't know if it's some Playdate-specific feature of playing trailers, is the trailer all there is to the entry (despite screenshots suggesting there's more) or if there's some crash that may or may not be specific to the version of Playdate Simulator I'm running? (newly downloaded, for Windows) I tried rotating the crank on some attempt, but it didn't seem to work either...

If there's a way to actually run the proper gameplay portion of the entry (if any), I'd be happy to try and follow the relevant instructions.

You're right, after some patches I've overwritten the game with trailer build which I did in the last minutes of the jam. Now it should work properly, although the game can be difficult to play (or almost impossible at the last stage) without the physical crank.
