Well, I loaded the .zip into the Offical sideloader on their website. It uploaded to the database fine & shows up as a game to install, but when I do install it it gives an error upon completion. I've tried multiple times, same error. I've had this happen with other .pdx's as well, not sure what the issue is as there is no error code or message, just "Unable to install"

I was able to reproduce. I've uploaded a new zip. Let me know if works -- you really deserve the complete experience including custom wrapping paper :D

Alright! So! I got the same error... BUT! I was able to fix the problem. The .pdx has too long of a name I think for the playdate itself. I unpacked the archive, shortened the .pdx name to "gimmiefriction.pdx", repacked it, and it works like a charm.

Absolutely love the custom wrapping paper :)

Update: New .pdx works great, but it made the cover on the playdate app selection screen a little less wide.

That was my error. I was building in a dirty git tree. I've released 1.0.2 (version 6 on itch?) with a fixed card.

I just tried to install 1.0.2 (version 6) on my unit (running OS 1.11.0) and I'm getting "There was a problem installing this game" on the device itself, when at 100% installing.

I've released 1.1.2. Please try and report back. Full release notes here.
