Hello, sorry for the silly question, but as a huge Barrack fan looking for any alternative, is this playable in any way on a computer or does it require the playdate?
You can actually using the simulator included in the free playdate SDK . It works pretty well and has controller support. You can also 2x the size of the display making it 800X480 which isn't too far off from Barrack's original 800x600. I made the Episode 1 play-through video using the SDK on 2x using the playdate as a controller if you want an idea what it would look like.
