After the last update on the Playdate version, I'm now focusing on the Steam version. And I have a beautiful pixel perfect rendering on the Steam Deck ✨ store.steampowered.com/news/app/465... #indiegame #steamwishlist #steamdeck
Crankstone - Mini games improvement and Pixel perfect on Steam Deck - Steam News
This summer I've improved all 6 current mini games to make them funnier. I'm focusing now on the PC version, and I change the base resolution to support pixel perfect scaling.

Big improvement in Crankstone! 💪 As I'm working on the new PC version, I'm reworking the mini games so they will be longer and more fun!!! This is coming this week on Catalog and already uploaded on Itch. Also it's currently on sale! 4$ off until saturday. play.date/games/cranks... #playdate
Crankstone changelog 1.9 screenshot: better leveling for Sip n' Spin, Track'em and Duel. These mini games should have more diversity and a better progression. Try to reach the level 30! add some time to the Kinetoscope, and the target frame should be closer to the starting frame in the lowest levels. fix a possible exploit bug in Track'em added some sound design in Sip n' Spin and Top Die add 20 new achievements! now the level of the mini game is saved with the score (saloon screens)

Crankstone is the retro shooter with the fastest mini games of the Wild West!
My take on the arcade genre powered with only 2 colors. A mashup game inspired by Time Crisis and Wario Ware!
