On this special #deepdive double episode of #Crank, my 5-Minute #Playdate #GameReview series, I put the spotlight on #Sasquatchers, an awesome game by #ChuckJordan that tauts itself as a "turn-based #tactical #crytpozoology game!" To me, its kind of like #Chess and hunting down #Bigfoot, while taking #snapshots or #selfies with the creatures, too. (here, they're... Continue Reading →
On this episode of #Crank, #Playdate 5-Minute #GameReviews, I play #SNAK by #STFJ! It's a cool version of #Snake (without the "E"!) that's fun to play, but just how fun is it? I mean, how can you make Snake new & lively & different, and in just a few hundred KB in size? Let's crank... Continue Reading →
On this episode of #Crank, we march on with Season 1 with #Spellcorked, by Gibbs, Splendour & Splendour. In this puzzler, you're Lune, making potions for customers... and while cutesy and crank-happy, does this game have enough charm to make it a winner?

On this episode of #Crank, 5-Minute #Playdate handheld #gamereviews, I play #StarSled by #Panic! In this #game, you encircle objects in #space and score big points while avoiding obstacles. It's very reminiscent of #Quantum, the #arcadegame by #Atari. It draws inspiration from #vector style games of the past. What's your score? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7ylOLWYzso Subscribe, Like &... Continue Reading →
On this season 2 opener of #Crank, my 5-Minute #Playdate #gamereview series, I tackle #QuestyChess by #Dadako. This came out in the later part of Season 1 for the Playdate #handheld. This game has great industrial design, with some cool characterization, but... every zone I go to is a dead end! Plus: Updates galore! Let's... Continue Reading →
On this double episode of #Crank, 5-Minute #Playdate #GameReviews, I play #HyperMeteor, by #VertexPop, released last year in Season 1! In this #game, you play a take on #Asteroids but you're thrusting your ship into #meteors! However, if you #thrust into the dark side of a meteor, you lose a life! This game is also...

On this episode of #Crank, 5-Minute #Playdate #Game #Reviews, I play #Omaze, by #GregoryKogos. To start, this is one of my #favorite #games for the #playdate! Let's just get that out of the way! 🙂 It's a #fun #puzzler and an ode to #circles & cranking your way to the finish line! I play the... Continue Reading →
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 of Crank, I take a look at "Lost Your Marbles" by Sweet Baby Inc. This game is an adorable & well-crafted 'visual novel,' integrating pinball & puzzler elements into a nice little package. However, there are a couple of annoyances. What did I think about this game? Did I lose my marbles... Continue Reading →
