Dolphin Splash!
A downloadable game
Crank to swim! Play as a dolphin in this collection of time-trials and treasure hunts. Only for the Playdate.
- True crank-only controls. No buttons needed in-game! (An alternate control-scheme included though.)
- Have a smooth, fluid experience with 50 FPS (in-game, not in menus).
- More than 20 levels, divided into treasure-hunts (without time-limit), and time-trails.
- Record your own ghost, then race it!
- Upload your own custom levels to the device with the online level-editor (Please note: The editor is a separate application, not on the Playdate/in-game.)
- Options: Alternate control scheme, invert screen, set crank-sensitivity (and flip rotation) ... and more.
- Earn medals (bronze, silver, gold), and a handful of achievements.
Please Note!: Both the 'Mirror' app and (to a lesser extent) the 'control with device' option in the 'Simulator' app on PC may show degraded performance. Always play on device for the best experience.
(Coming to a Playdate Catalog near you in August!)

ça semble très original, j'ai presque envi de me laisser tenter... je réfléchis.
Looks like a lot of fun!!! (is the online functionality different in the Catalog version?)
Hi! Thanks, I do hope it is fun!
The level-editor is a separate program (not on the Playdate itself) that runs either online or on the desktop. You can then connect to the Playdate to put the level on – either via (web)serial or just placing it on the disk via USB.
That shouldn’t be different for the Catalog version.
Perhaps this isn’t clear from the description, so I should edit it as to not confuse people.
P.S. The only real ‘online’ functionality –that will be added when it launches for Catalog– is the scoreboards (for the time-trials). I’ll probably release that update for itch as well, but it comes with some caveats – as you of course need to connect your Playdate to a Playdate-account & put the game on there via USB instead of the ‘Sideload’ functionality on their website (as that last bit will do something with the ‘bundle-id’ apparently).
