Hello, It's been a while since I made games as I got busy with some things.  This was my first game in PlayDate, and I have so much to learn. While I can't promise I can fix this bug as I don't have the console with me, I will try to find some time to see what I can do and I will try to fix this issue if possible. Thank you for playing!

Thank you for reporting the crash!  I will fix it.

Unfortunately, I will have to wait till I find someone who can help me figure out why it's crashing (on the device) or until I get my hands on the console. And yeah, this is my first playdate game, and it is just a prototype, so I will be adding a bunch of new features after the new year. 

Thanks for playing! Also, can you share when the game crashed? During restarts or at some other point?

Thank you for playing! This is still my first game for playdate. So I took it as an opportunity to learn stuff. I will make sure to include a bunch of new features soon and definitely think of a way to make it easier.

Thank you for playing! May I know what the error says? I'm unable to replicate the issue on the simulator.

Thank god! It was a bit tricky and frustrating, but I'm pretty sure this won't happen again! Thank you for your patience and all the help!

Thank you for your patience! This was literally my first time, and it was so frustrating!

Thank you for letting me know that. This is my first time and I'm so confused about this whole thing. I appreciate your help! I tried uploading a new folder, this time properly zipped. Please check it if you can! Thank you!

I'm sorry and I appreciate your help in trying it. Please try again! 

I have updated the game files, please try again. Thank you!

DId you select the "Crank Hero" folder or "Crank Hero.pdx" folder?

Please let me know.

That's weird! I just checked it's working! 

Try opening the simulator first and then click on open and make sure you choose the "Crank Hero.pdx" folder instead of "Crank Hero" folder

Thank you! It's my first pico-8 game and I wanted to make a snake, but I thought that was boring and changed the idea a bit! Surprisingly I also found another game with the exact same idea, and I was heavily inspired by it. Here's the link:

Thank you! You can find a lot of designs and patterns on canva!

Thanks for playing! Yes, I did work on it by myself. But the music and the character were made by others. I will play your game soon!

thanks for playing. My original intention was not to make this random. But I had no time to do that, as I was working on another game in the beginning. I was planning on a roguelike game where the dice value depends on how u flip it. After the jam ends, I will update it. I hope you would also check it out then.

Thanks again!

Thank you! PICO-8 is really fun!

Thanks for checking it out! And I'm glad someone mentioned the menu! :)

Thank you!!

It's so fun to play. The music and the characters are perfect! 

I recently started learning pico-8, and I'm so surprised you managed to make this in 6 hrs. This game's a bit unique compared to the other entries I guess.

Simply amazing! I was planning on doing the same thing.  I thought to switch the dice sides and proceed, but due to time constraints, rng.

I think it's good. It would be great if you can figure out some mechanism so that the frog keeps jumping continuously though. 

This was fun. But I suck at it. No matter what option gets chosen, I always die too quickly lol. I loved the music

Usually, the devs post dev logs. So when you follow them, you get a notification.

It's a good short text-based rpg with some nice music and 1-bit visuals. I loved it! Ik the time constraints, so I can't wait to see more monsters in the future.!

Thanks for playing! Originally it was intended for the dice to rotate along its side and get those numbers. But I had less time (literally less than 12 hrs) as I worked on a different game at first. I couldn't depict the dice visually to let the user see all the sides at once. So, had to go with a random roll. Well in the next update, I will add everything. I just wish I had more time. I planned flying shurikens, disappearing blocks, some monsters too!

I guess you can, but you should provide notice because some people might not like it or are just not into horror games! You might remember seeing some notice in horror games right?

I made this game based on one of my favorite mobile games called "1-meter". I couldn't compose any music as I'm still new to pico-8, but I might add it one day in the future! PICO-8 is really fun and I'd like to make more games in the future!

I sent you a friend request on discord!

Thank you for responding! I will contact you soon

Hello everyone! This is not my first game/my first jam. I make games using unity. But a few months back I bought pico-8 to test it out and it was so cool. So I've decided to use this jam as an opportunity to make my first pico-8 game. I wanted to remake one of my favorite games called "1 meter" and I'm almost done making it. But I'm not getting any better with the background music or SFX.

If you think you can help me out, please drop a comment! I'm looking for music similar to the "1-meter" game.  I found a sample here: https://www.fesliyanstudios.com/royalty-free-music/download/the-little-cafe/1959

If there was a section for art, it would have been 10/10! Although I can think of design as art! The sprite rotation to move was a really good idea! It was cool!

Wow! As Atomic Burning said, I thought this game was just like other ones with the same concept. But boy this was unique.  I had a hard time to understand to rotate, but once I got the idea, it was soo addicting! Great job!

The music was really fun! I liked it!  Please don't take it the wrong way, but children would absolutely love this game! And it will help them out too! Great work!

Yeah! After seeing the responses from many people I decided to polish it and publish it on the play store!

Yup! I have already started working on the next update and planning to release it on the play store! I fixed the algorithm to make the gameplay more balanced! I also worked on some themes!
