Hello, It's been a while since I made games as I got busy with some things. This was my first game in PlayDate, and I have so much to learn. While I can't promise I can fix this bug as I don't have the console with me, I will try to find some time to see what I can do and I will try to fix this issue if possible. Thank you for playing!
I think the issue with sideloading is the -- bird in the pdx.info I removed it and it let me sideload fine. another gotcha sometimes is what u use to zip it. windows explorer on win 10 dosnt always work , so i use winrar and chooses zip and that seems to work. may not be the case here just a thing to try if ur ever scratching ur head installing now

Thank you for letting me know that. This is my first time and I'm so confused about this whole thing. I appreciate your help! I tried uploading a new folder, this time properly zipped. Please check it if you can! Thank you!
it doesnt sideload for me either. i am trying to play it on an actual playdate handheld , when sideloading on the website it says "pdx info is invalid"

On the latest playdate OS, this game is crashing pretty frequently after I die twice.
main.lua:53: attempt to index a nil value (global 'bgm')
stack traceback:
main.lua:53: in function 'initialize'
main.lua:285: in function 'gameOver'
main.lua:253: in function <main.lua:115>

pdxinfo is invalid
I have updated the game files, please try again. Thank you!
Sorry. "Could not find a top-level .pdx file"
I'm sorry and I appreciate your help in trying it. Please try again!

nope u broke the pdx. needs to be the pdx folder in a zip, not just a zip with pdx in the name, was right for that part at first.
on mac the pdx folder is like a recognised file thing, on windows its just a folder whitch is a little confusing
Thank you for letting me know that. This is my first time and I'm so confused about this whole thing. I appreciate your help! I tried uploading a new folder, this time properly zipped. Please check it if you can! Thank you!
No probs, its a bit tricky at first especialy if u dont have a device.
seems to let me sideload now, yip seems to work now,
it doesnt sideload for me either. i am trying to play it on an actual playdate handheld , when sideloading on the website it says "pdx info is invalid"
DId you select the "Crank Hero" folder or "Crank Hero.pdx" folder?
Please let me know.
I have updated the game files, please try again. Thank you!
the new file worked, ty
Thank you for your patience! This was literally my first time, and it was so frustrating!
Doesnt let me sideload :(
That's weird! I just checked it's working!
Try opening the simulator first and then click on open and make sure you choose the "Crank Hero.pdx" folder instead of "Crank Hero" folder
I have updated the game files, please try again. Thank you!
got it thank you!
