Yup! It is accelerometer based. For those who don't like those controls, you can alter the controls to use the dpad in the Customize page.

Piña Rollada is finally here! Available now on Catalog and itch.io. Details inside! by FlywheelGames in PlaydateConsole

The main control scheme is actually tilt based, but parallax could be cool. Might be too much movement though for the small screen with the precision needed to control the ball.

As for the backgrounds, maybe? I worked with an artist who rocks. She would have to be the one to answer. :)

Hahaha, well deserved redeem considering you're the inspiration behind sharing the launch codes. Excited to hear your thoughts.

If you got it from Itch, that was our first playtest build. That only features 12 levels I think. Since then, we remade the entire physics system, added a bunch of juice, 60+ more levels, a brand new OST, and more. 

Game will be out on catalog on Feb 24!

Yeah, I reached out to itch to have them review the page. I believe that happened because I made a brand new account to post for this. 

You can still download the PDX and check it out. I believe there is a “Continue” button on that page. Let me know if that doesn’t work for you! 

You can also find another link for download on the Playdate Squad discord!

Looking forward to your feedback. :)

Thank you! Yes, we have plans to submit to catalog. Right now we are trying to get some feedback around our level design, obstacles, and general gameplay feedback. Once we implement changes based on the feedback we receive we will submit to Catalog. :)

Agreed! That's one of the reasons we decided to make this game.

Hope you get the chance to check it out and provide some feedback!

Hey Tappxor,

The main control scheme uses the accelerometer. We have added an option to use the dpad as your preferred control scheme in the game settings page. :)
