Finally got my Playdate yesterday, and Whitewater Wipeout is a stellar introductory game. It's singular focus and early 80's arcade playstyle is very welcome in today's gaming landscape of bloated worlds, skill trees and GenericTemplateUI:s. And getting my first Quadruple 360 felt amazing.

This has fully captured the elegant simplicity yet challenging nature of some GameBoy games. My willingness to try and try again a throwback to that era. I had to force myself to put the whole thing back in it's packaging last night because ever time I put it down , I picked it back up to play some more.

Hot damn I love this. Maybe it’s because I played a lot of California Games as a kid or because the crank control feels absolutely perfect, but I am digging this game. A simple design, high score and I can see endless hours trying to beat that score. It’s the perfect storm of nostalgia and wonderfully unique design.
