CrankShot (Playdate)
A downloadable game
CrankShot is a physics based puzzle-platformer for the Playdate utilizing the crank to throw a ball. There are 50 total levels to get through, with increasing difficulty and new mechanics added intermittently. Navigate through walls and spikes, collect keys, or pick up an ability to reach the target.
Controls:
- Spin the crank to throw the ball, controlling direction and power
- Press B to reset each level
- If you get stuck, press right or left on Dpad to switch between levels.
Mechanics:
- The ball bounces off walls, which can be stationary, moving, or breakable.
- Don't get caught in the spikes!
- Collect every
to unlock the target
- Pick up
to gain an extra throw
Tips:
- Imaging you are throwing a ball in real life. You can throw overhand or underhand, and the angle when you stop cranking corresponds to the angle the ball will travel. The power is the average crank speed from when you begin cranking to when you release - the faster you spin, the faster the ball will move. It takes time to get used to the controls.
