I wanted to share my first playdate app: the World's Smallest Violin!
You can turn the crank to move the bow, tilt the device to change the strings, and play the saddest little song the world has ever heard. The World's Smallest Violin comes packed with a variety of different playing styles- try it out for free on my itch.io page! You can also visit my portfolio site for a behind the scenes look at my process.
After playing through a dozen games on the device, my head was full of ideas for games of my own. One idea stood out above the rest: I wanted to transform the Playdate console into an instrument. In the spirit of why Panic says Playdate was created, I wanted to build something "just for fun."
I couldn't tell you why exactly, but the violin was calling my name. I think part of me just really enjoys making music, and the other part of me wanted to find a way to connect playdate to other Teenage Engineering-built products!
Let me know if you give it a try or have any thoughts / questions!
