It is bright yellow in color and has a unique control mechanism in the form of a manual crank. This crank is used in new ways, such as balancing the aforementioned unicyclist Balanced Brewing. It’s a trick, but it’s fun.
In addition to the sale, new Playdate owners get 24 free games when they buy the $200 console. These are opened weekly for 12 weeks.
