Hello, fellow playdaters!

I'm Morgan, from Random Encounter Studios and my brother and I just finished developing our first playdate game. Fell in love with the device a year ago and decided to make a full fledged game on it.

It's a modern twist on arcade classics shmups, lots of actions, level ups, perks and coins! The game is about 6-8 hours length, hope you'll love it.

I'm happy to announce that ARMADA is now out on playdate, available on https://random-encounter-games.itch.io/armada (not sure if I can link something in the post but hey, i'll try)

Feel free to ask me anything about the game/studio/playdate, will be more than happy to answer!
