A downloadable game


Gatecrasher is a game for the Playdate.

As a player of this game you will control a ship. You'll use the crank to rotate the ship; turning the crank clockwise will rotate your ship clockwise, and turning the crank anti-clockwise will rotate your ship anti-clockwise, because doing it the other way round wouldn't make sense. You must navigate your ship through gates without crashing into them. 

I realise while writing this that the name of the game may be misleading, as the objective of the game is to not crash into the gates. I apologise for this, and those responsible have been fired.


Gatecrasher is also available on iOS and Android.

Great game. Music is crazy good – real Chemical Brothers vibes. Also would like to request a list-icon for the cherry on top.

awesome game! but there is no list icon...

great work on this!

it's super intuitive and fast-paced. 


I really think it belongs on Catalog

I'm in need of rhythm games like this one on the catalog! A couple of songs, lil more content and take my money

I like the game, probably in my top most played, but I would like it more and it would be less confusing in bits if movement were synced with the music

The core is instantly understood and fun, and the music is killer and makes me want to go farther to listen to more

Does it sound super distorted to anyone else when at max volume?

This is excellent work!

The controls are smooth, and every time I fail it feels fair. Really solid bit of game design - only thing that’s lacking is a way to give you a little cash for your work

This game is super cool, a extremely polished game that is just a nice simple distraction. My record is 60.

The best soundtrack I heard on the playdate and smooth nice graphics, overall simple and addictive, the crank movement to speed is greatly balanced unlike some games. I would only welcome some Zen mode or easy mode to play longer than 30 seconds chunks of game. I can't get past 60 points. Still amazed this is free, should be on front page of The Catalogue

This rules and you should be charging money for this (at least let me give you money!)

Wow!  Incredible work, on this highly addictive game, benzgrant!  I had a hard time putting it down long enough to write this comment.  I'll be chasing higher gate numbers now that I'm done!

I played it a bit

This is an excellently crafted game. Sound and graphics fit Playdate perfectly.
