On this episode of #Crank, 5-Minute #Playdate #Reviews, I take a look at #EchoicMemory by #SamanthaZero. It's a fun #musical #memorization #game where you not only have to remember the #beats, but also the #rhythms and #bebops. It's an interesting game with a cute story, and great graphics. But how is the gameplay? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqWy_-j1hZ4
On this episode, I peel back the lid on the tin can of #spinach on #Popeye, released in 1983 by #ParkerBrothers for the #Atari2600.

On this episode, I take a look at #BoogieLoops by Khoe & Matushak. It's more or less a 'music' or 'sound' app that is controlled by the #Playdate's buttons. But what about that crank?
