Here’s how to sideload custom levels onto your Playdate so you can play them in in Otto’s Galactic Groove!!

  1. Plug your Playdate into your computer and set it to Data Disk Mode
  2. Open the PLAYDATE disk
  3. Go to folder Data > com.pawprints.OttosGalacticGroove
  4. Copy your .otto level file (which is actually a folder; make sure it's not a .zip file)
  5. Eject and disconnect your Playdate from your computer
  6. Start the game and open Jukebox mode

Notes:

  • The process is the same whether you made the level or someone else did.
  • Older versions of the editor exported a JSON file with two PDA files. If your level is in that format, copy those three files directly into com.pawprints.OttosGalacticGroove
