What is it?

XTRIS is my first venture into commercial projects! For the past 4 years, I have been tinkering with game development and publishing projects for free on my itch.io. With my Playdate in hand, however, delighted at the tiny games in my hand, I decided to make a game myself!

The Playdate SDK and Simulator are available for free on Playdate’s website, which is great for budding developers like me. With a helpful VSCode template off Github, I was ready to begin development!

This project took me about 5 months to complete. I originally started out with the intention of just learning the SDK - not to publish anything. However, once I reached feature parity with the original game, I realized that I wanted to do more. So, I took the next 4 months to really polish the animations, add new features, and explore community-led efforts such as pdAchievements.

The game is now available for free to sideload, or on Catalog for $4 USD!
