Legally Distinct, Planetary Based, Suika Game Clone for Playdate by Tom Rhodes
It’s the addictive suika game, for Playdate! (and of course, it’s a totally different thing that involves merging planets).
Merge the planets to increase your score, keep merging to increase your combo and multiply your points beyond the stars! Also a hidden, secret art mode for those looking for something even less original.
The game is totally free to enjoy with no gameplay changes in the free build. if you feel generous and want to tip at least $2 you’ll get access to another build of the game which includes highscore and max combo saving, and also a legally distinct feeling of happiness.
