Propeller Rat

Source code for my Playdate game "Propeller Rat", a game where you pilot a propeller-strapped rat through increasingly challenging, hazard-filled worlds with crank-based movement! Features a total of 80 action packed levels spread across 8 different worlds, and leaderboards to compete for the fastest times in each world! You can get it on Catalog, or on Itch IO.
