Hmmmm…

Trying v2.1 and the Playdate website for side loading will just not recognize it!

I noticed similar behaviour if I try to drag and drop onto the website - “Incorrect file type, please try again”

If I click “Choose a file” and select from there, the site accepts it.

Let me know how you go.

That’s actually what I was doing.
What I was doing differently that is SLIGHTLY different is I’m doing it in iOS. Downloaded to my cloud drive then went to the Playdate side load site and when I try to select it it just won’t accept it. I’ve done this same thing with several other Playdate games with no problem.
The only difference I see is when I DL other games they tend to be a .PDX.zip file and this one just comes down as a .pdx

Weird….

Thank you for the detailed set of steps.

I was able to reproduce. Simply renaming the file from .pdx to .pdx.zip allowed the side load website to accept the file from iOS.

I’ve renamed the file for future downloads.

well that did the trick!

Works great now!

Thanks much and great work on the port!

Same here, even if I zip it myself.

No need to zip it, simply rename it to .zip

Alternatively download the latest version again. Should come down with the correct file extension now.
