Legally Distinct, Planetary Based, Suika Game Clone for Playdate
A downloadable game
It's the addictive suika game, for Playdate! (and of course, it's a totally different thing that involves merging planets).
Merge the planets to increase your score, keep merging to increase your combo and multiply your points beyond the stars! Also a hidden, secret art mode for those looking for something even less original.
The game is totally free to enjoy with no gameplay changes in the free build. if you feel generous and want to tip at least $2 you'll get access to another build of the game which includes highscore and max combo saving, and also a legally distinct feeling of happiness.
Controls
- Left/Right or Crank to position your planet.
- Down, B or A to drop the planet.
- Menu button has a few options, and also shows the merge tree.
- Alternate art-style via a cheat code on the menu screen?

never 0.1.7?
I loved what I played so far but I'm having collision issues. Planets frequently clip into others and shake around because they don't know where to be. It compresses the entire board and makes it harder to touch planets because they overlap and get stuck in position.
no podría existir un modo con mas gravedad, como lo era al inicio, ahora los planetas revotan mucho y no se puede ser muy preciso, como lo era en al 0.1.
I'll investigate and see where the difference is, likely there's just too much bounce on the planets. Thanks for the report :)
Honestly great game, find myself playing whenever I have a few minutes, great for boredom. It occasionally crashes but no complaints.
its great, i love
Thank you for the constant updates!!!
You're welcome! :)
I just added 0.1.6 which includes even more optimisation for better frame-rates and better physics!
Yesss, thank you!! The game is getting better and better!
Hello! I don't know if this is normal, but as the game progresses and the planets accumulate, they start to be on top of each other, literally 🤔 Is it normal or some bug? Thanks!!
It's expected (for now), but not exactly intended. It's a physics quirk that I haven't quite resolved yet, gives you a bit extra space for merging though! :D
Aaaa, okay! Good to know hahahaha And yes, extra space!
como lo prometi, compre el juego por 2.5, si llegas a publicarlo en la tienda oficial de playdate, lo volvere a comprar
Thank you! Much appreciated.
j'adore le jeu merci. malheureusement il y a des bogues de collisions et des gros problèmes de lag. J'espère que vous parviendrez à l'optimiser pour qu'il soit parfaitement fluide. Bravo pour le travail accompli.
Merci pour la dernière mise à jour c'est déjà plus fluide
Very addictive. In my best game so far, I popped two pairs of blackholes. I'll upload my score soon.
A bug that happened once: My girlfriend was playing and topped out, but it let her keep playing on the GAME OVER screen. There were some invisible planets at the bottom. We both though it was really funny.
Thank you! and oh no about the bug, I'll take a look at it but glad it was funny :D
es increíble, me encantó y mi esposa se hizo adicta a él.tal vez mejorar el framerate un poco lo haria mas agradable.
Agreed, I'll be working on it :)
te felicito por tu trabajo, si subes una versión de pago, feliz pagaría por él. te lo mereces
You're the GOAT! Gotta love that game title xD
Great job with this!
haha thanks! :)
This is super fun, thank you!! The frame rate is a bit laggy for me is the only issue I have. It doesn't interfere with the gameplay though!
Thank you for the review! Yeah right now the "active" planet (e.g one recently dropped) runs itself at the full framerate, whereas inactive planets run at around 1/4 framerate. It's a lot of physics for the little fella to calculate and so for now, this is an unfortunate side effect of my optimisation.
I'll be continuing to work on optimising this and I'm hoping to bring the inactive balls up to 1/2 framerate sometime soon! Stopping the game from stuttering is my main task, as that feels really bad.
That makes sense - thank you for your reply!
The game we needed!!! Thanks! 😊
Thank you!:)
