I downloaded the APK but I get the error "You can't install this app on your device." Not sure if there's a way to get a more detailed error message. I have a Google Pixel 6 Pro on Android 14.
it's cool if you just want to relax and throw little balls without thinking, you can't loose and instead of winning you can continue without interruption. But I guess it might be confusing as a name and most people like a bit of challenge
Unfortunately I don't have a PlayDate and beside Pico 8 (the engine I used to make the game) doesn't exist on PlayDate so I would have to remake it from scratch. And also I like how the game play with different colors for each balls, so a greyscale PlayDate version doesn't seem like a good idea, sorry
oh, that's pretty cool, I didn't know that, well there you have it! I tested it a bit, but like I said the black-and-white patterns on the balls are not very legible to me so it's hard to play, but otherwise it looks and sounds great!
yes, yours is still the definitive experience. maybe there are some improvements that can be made to the Playdate version to make the "colors" a bit more discernible
this is so fun! I played it on and off during my 10 hour flight home to Australia from Tokyo. I got my score to 3.4 million in endless before the tab reloaded itself while I was doing something else
I'm glad you liked it! And it's nice to see people using the "accessible" mode where numbers are displayed on the balls, can I ask if there is a specific reason for using it? Anyways, thanks for your message, it warms my heart, I hope you flight went well!
thank you! I'm glad you like the game, and it means all the effort I spent on the android version where not a waste of time! Now with the new browser version, you can play it on android/ios using touch screen, but the native android version is probably still a bit better
yeah I still remember the amazement of you answering my android request with an apk :) did you apply the updates to the android one, should I redownload it? :)
haha, it took me while to make because there is no simple way right now to port pico 8 games to android so I had to port it to another engine (love2D)
And no, the android apk has not been updated, the source code for it is probably buried in an old hard drive and setting it up for everything to build again would take forever. Fortunately it already had touch control to aim so there is just the new accessibility mode, which is a sad to not have, but people can still play with it using the browser version
Such a lovely game, got frustrated only once on hard mode, but it never made me rage. The game is so satisfying, especially when you merge the red balls or finally merge pink and win. 10/10!

the apk is probably for arm7 only
Wow! Really enjoyed this one!! Came here for information and inspiration. Stayed for the fun!
Great game! Took me an hour, how bout you guys? :D
Cheers!
what is the point of endless mode?

Changing it to something like “Free play” would make it less confusing i think.
Good game, with lots of colors. Is this available on any other platforms.
thanks, what other platform would you want? there is a raspberry pi version I could easily produce
Do you plan to bring this game to the PlayDate?
pretty please?

all us Playdate folks would be so thrilled to have it, but I understand if that's not in the cards.
i'm glad this exists in any form!
apparently someone has already made a port!

i'll ask the person who made the port

I used the accessible mode because it simply made it easier to quickly check which balls were which :)

1) I love this game and still migrate it from device to device on my Android.
2) Love to see you updating it.
Best of luck!
