在游戏目录三周年促销结束前，这些Playdate游戏值得关注
还在为选择游戏发愁吗？我们为你准备了一些推荐。
如果你的Playdate愿望清单和我的一样冗长，现在正是将其中部分游戏从待定区解救出来的好时机：为庆祝三周年，Panic正在Playdate游戏目录开展促销活动。尽管大多数Playdate游戏原本定价就不高，但疯狂采购时累积起来仍是一笔开销——别问我怎么知道的！活动于3月5日开始，持续至东部时间3月19日下午1点（太平洋时间上午10点），请抓紧时间享受折扣。
据Panic透露，目前目录中共有423款游戏。如果你正纠结该选择哪些，不妨参考以下推荐。

第二季游戏合集
如果去年夏天发售时你觉得39美元购买第二季合集太贵，现在正是入手良机。虽然第二季游戏数量仅为第一季的一半，但整体质量更为出色。12款游戏个个扎实，涵盖解谜、长达数小时的冒险、适合短时畅玩的快节奏动作游戏等多种类型与风格。该合集还包含《Blippo+》——一款目前市面上独一无二的古怪有线电视模拟器。
所有游戏都值得体验，其中几款尤为突出：末世冒险游戏《白茫》在经历今冬寒潮后更能引发共鸣；解谜平台游戏《塔莉亚与科莫》；街机动作游戏《支点守卫者》；攀岩冒险游戏《小小萝卜》。偏爱轻松风格的玩家也会喜欢《挖！挖！恐龙！》。

外界迷踪
这款游戏发售后让我赞不绝口。它独特诡异、引人入胜，彻底突破了Playdate的机能极限。作为恐怖寻物游戏，你需要仔细审视巨幅画面寻找隐藏场景，并不断使用摇杆调整亮度以发现暗处细节。随着目标被发现，阴森的音频片段将逐渐揭开故事全貌。其沉浸式体验与氛围营造堪称绝妙，超过150个寻找目标和丰富的背景设定能提供数十小时的游戏时间。

摇杆狂徒
这是为Playdate量身定制的西部世界！《摇杆狂徒》融合了射击画廊与小游戏，其美术风格、配乐和玩法都充满乐趣。你可以选择故事模式直接投身枪战保卫小镇，或前往酒馆单独体验多种小游戏，包括快节奏的"找出正确纸牌"洗牌游戏和需要操作摇杆的模仿游戏。它就像浓缩在Playdate中的西部主题公园，体验绝佳。

回响：神谕卷轴
这是我心目中最爱的Playdate游戏之一。这款类银河战士恶魔城游戏摒弃传统战斗，专注于地下王国网络中的探索与解谜。游戏设定在灾变后人类移居地底的世界，玩家扮演受命将卷轴从最底层人类聚居区送至档案馆的孩子。
地下世界充满险境：岩浆湖、敌对植物区等场景构成极具挑战的平台关卡，需要充分发挥创造力才能通过。虽然基调略显沉重，但像腹部弹跳的青蛙王子这类古怪角色为游戏增添了一抹亮色。

白羽卡牌馆
经典卡牌游戏爱好者不可错过。这个由名为白羽的鸟儿经营的虚拟卡牌馆包含六种游戏：克里比奇牌、金拉米牌、黑桃牌、卡斯诺牌以及恶意牌。即使你是卡牌新手，也能通过清晰易懂的教程快速上手。获胜赢取的硬币可在白羽的老虎机中使用，兑换她收藏的各种小饰品。

凯尔莫尔城堡
这款第一人称动作游戏将带你进入一系列迷宫，在寻找钥匙和逃生门的过程中击退浮空头骨怪物。游戏包含十六个关卡，每关结束后会显示通关时长与杀敌比例统计。游戏的音效设计尤为出彩：敌人发出啜食与挤压声，而角色拾取生命值或受伤时会发出滑稽的平淡感叹"啊"或"呃"。地下城探险爱好者必玩！

菠萝滚球
玩过《超级猴子球》的玩家会对这款游戏感到亲切：操控滚球穿越关卡，在抵达出口前收集所有水果。切记不要跌落边缘，并尽可能快速完成。游戏利用Playdate的加速度计实现倾斜操控（也支持方向键操作），关卡初期即充满挑战：狭窄无护栏的路径、障碍物与移动平台需小心应对。需注意靠近出口会直接吸走滚球，收集周边水果时要控制距离以免提前结束关卡。
这款游戏既令人抓狂（趣味向）又容易上瘾，准备好放声大叫吧！

其他推荐游戏
以上仅是我近期喜爱的游戏，促销期间还有大量Playdate游戏值得探索，例如《奶酪游戏》和《蘑菇溢散》。若需要更多推荐，可查阅我们的Playdate最佳游戏榜单，发现《巅峰》和《像素鸟》等精品。我也计划从愿望清单中购入《等待之形》等多款游戏。

Playdate games to check out before the Catalog's 3-year anniversary sale ends
Not sure where to start with games? We've got a few suggestions for you.
If your Playdate wishlist is anything like mine (endless), here's a good excuse to actually go ahead and free some of those games from limbo: Panic is running a sale across the Playdate Catalog to celebrate its three-year anniversary. Sure, the majority of Playdate games are pretty cheap as is, but they can still add up when you're on a wild purchasing spree. Ask me how I know! The sale started on March 5 and goes until March 19 at 1PM ET (10AM PT), so take advantage of the discounts while you can.
There are 423 games available in the Catalog now, according to Panic, so if you're having trouble deciding on which you should go for, I've got you covered with a few recommendations right here.
Season Two
If $39 felt like too much to drop on Season Two when it came out last summer, now's the time to get it. Playdate's second season had only half the number of games as its first, but it still felt like a much stronger collection. Each of its 12 games is really solid, and there's plenty of variety in terms of genre and style, from puzzles and hours-long adventures to fast-paced action games that are great for bursts of intense play. And, it comes with Blippo+ — an oddball cable TV simulator that's unlike anything out there right now.
All of these games are worth playing, but there were definitely some standouts from the bunch: The Whiteout, a post-apocalyptic adventure that'll surely hit even harder now considering the winter we've had; the puzzle platformer Taria & Como; the arcade action game Fulcrum Defender; the climbing adventure, Tiny Turnip. I also really enjoyed Dig! Dig! Dino! for something on the chiller side.
Outside Parties
I have not been able to shut up about this game since it came out. It's unique, it's creepy, it's completely engrossing and it really pushes the limits of what the Playdate can do. Outside Parties is a horror scavenger hunt, presenting you with one massive picture to scrutinize and find hidden scenes within, using the crank to adjust the brightness constantly so you can find anything that may be buried in shadow. As you find these targets, more and more of the game's story comes to light through eerie audio clips. It is such a cool experience and the atmosphere of it all is incredible. You'll get many hours of playtime out of this one too, with over 150 targets to find and lots of lore to uncover.
Crankstone
A full-blown western for the Playdate! Crankstone is a gallery shooter with minigames mixed throughout, and between the aesthetic, the music and the activities, it's a lot of fun. You can choose the story mode to get right into the shooting and defending the town from outlaws, or head to the saloon to pick from the handful of mini games individually, including some fast-paced "spot the correct card" deck shuffling games and a few mimicry games involving the crank. It's like a wild west theme park crammed into the Playdate, which is to say, it's wonderful.
Echo: The Oracle's Scroll
This is one of my all-time favorite Playdate games. Echo: The Oracle's Scroll is a metroidvania without the usual combat, focusing entirely on exploration and puzzle-solving in a vast network of subterranean kingdoms. In this game, the Blight has forced civilization underground, and you play as a child who has been sent on a mission to deliver a scroll from the bottom-most territory, where the humans live, up to The Archives.
There are all sorts of treacherous environments underground, including magma lakes and areas filled with hostile vegetation, making for what is at times a challenging platformer that requires lots of creativity to make your way through. The tone is a bit somber, but quirky characters — like a frog prince with a bouncy belly — keep things from getting too dark.
Carte Blanche
This one's for lovers of classic card games. There are six games in this virtual card game parlor (which is run by a bird named Blanche): Cribbage, Gin Rummy, Spades, Cassino and Spite & Malice. It's great for if you already know what you're doing, but I found Carte Blanche to be a really good introduction to these games for absolute beginners too, thanks to the easy-to-follow tutorials. When you win games, you'll be rewarded with coins that you can spend at Blanche's slot machine, which is stocked with little trinkets she's collected.
Castle Kellmore
Castle Kellmore absolutely rules. This first-person action game puts you in a series of mazes where you have to fight off floating-head-style monsters as you hunt around for keys and try to find the doors and portals to your escape. There are sixteen levels, and upon finishing each one you'll get a little summary of how long it took you to complete that area and what percentage of the level's enemies you killed. I also really get a kick out of the sounds in this game. The enemies slurp and squelch, and your character will let out a hilariously passionless, "Ah" or "Ooeuugh" after picking up a health boost or getting injured. Great for fans of dungeons!
Piña Rollada
If you've ever played any of the Super Monkey Ball games, the gist of this one should be pretty familiar: roll the ball through the course and collect all of the fruits before reaching the exit. Don't fall off the edge, and do it all in as little time as possible. Piña Rollada makes use of the Playdate's accelerometer, which means you control the ball's movement by tilting the console (there is also the option to use the D-pad instead). The courses start getting tricky pretty much right away, with thin paths that don't have any guardrails, obstacles to avoid and moving platforms. And, just going near the exit will result in the ball getting sucked in, so you have to keep that in mind as you collect any surrounding fruits if you don't want the level to end prematurely.
This is another one of those games that is both frustrating (in the fun way) and totally addicting. Expect to yell a lot.
Other games to try
These are just the games I've been enjoying lately, but there are tons of other Playdate games worth checking out during the sale, like these cheese games and Spilled Mushrooms. And if you need even more recommendations, take a look through our list of the best Playdate games, where you'll find gems like Summit and Bwirds. There are quite a few I'm planning to finally spring from my wishlist too, including The Shape That Waits.
