Playdate’s first store update adds four games and a calculator
The Playdate’s Catalog games store has received its first update since its launch last month, and it’s a small but eclectic five-title mix that even includes a productivity app. The official headliner, Core Fault, is a survival game that has you piloting a mining droid as it collects resources and dodges unhappy aliens. However, the real star might be Crankulator. Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like — it’s a calculator that uses the handheld’s crank to enter values. It can even use a synthetic voice to relay calculations like a modern-day Speak & Math.
Other additions include the physics-driven flight game Gravity Express, the mahjong adaptation Sparrow Solitaire and the spooky puzzle solver Life’s Too Short. The prices range from just $1 for Life’s Too Short through to $10 for Gravity Express and Sparrow Solitaire. As with the initial game batch, these are effectively impulse buys.
✨ Oh!! Our first-ever Catalog drop has landed!!
There are five new titles to grab, including the Survivors-like game Core Fault, the beautiful Sparrow Solitaire, a talking calculator…?!, and more.

The Catalog selection is still tiny at 21 titles. For comparison, the first “season” included with the Playdate provides 24 games. However, this first expansion might give an idea of what to expect — namely, a modest but steady stream of quirky experiences built around the console’s black-and-white display and unusual controls. They likely won’t replace epics like the latest Legend of Zelda game, but they’re not meant that way. These are quick fixes you can play while you’re waiting for the bus or taking a work break.

RPS@PAX 2023: What four PAX Rising devs learned after demoing their game for four days straight

At last year’s PAX East, we spent a lot of our time poking around the PAX Rising Showcase booth, which is a collection of indie games curated by PAX itself. Not only did we find a bunch of cool games to play, but we were also able to chat to the games’ creators, as all Rising finalists are invited to attend in person to show their work to the public.
This year, though, Rachel and I decided to go one step further. We interviewed the teams behind four of the eleven 2023 finalists, asking the developers behind Go-Go Town!, Paper Trail, Slay the Princess and Xenotilt: Hostile Pinball Action about their experience of bringing their games to PAX, what they learned along the way, and what it’s like to spend four days standing on your feet talking to thousands of attendees (spoilers: it’s really bloody tiring).
