Description
🏆 2023 Community Awards: Best App Winner! Paint, compose, build, record, and dance your way across six playful creative spaces for your Playdate.

Paint Relax while painting with 15 unique and playful crankable tools with a rainbow of shades and patterns, or create your own with stamps. Blocks Snap together a story with 30 built-in block shapes, or design your own stamp blocks. Stamps Pixelate your ideas and use them across your drawings, stories, faces, and more. Record Grab sound with your Playdate's microphone, then bend and twist it with AudioBot and its 8 sound effects like pitch, echo, crush, and more. Dance Adjust the stage lighting, set a backdrop, pick an outfit, and... a face?? Then crank your way across the dance floor and into our hearts.
